When we are dealing with death we are constantly being dragged down by the event: Humor diverts our attention and lifts our sagging spirits.

My dad dragged me to a Bruce Springsteen concert as a kid. It was my first concert but I fell asleep in the middle. My second concert was Weezer on the 'Pinkerton' tour and 'Pinkerton' is the reason why I'm doing this.

On a royal birthday every house must fly a flag or the owner would be dragged to a police station and be fined twenty-five rubles.
