in a theatre, it happened that a fire started offstage. the clown came out to tell the audience. they thought it was a joke and applauded. he told them again, and they become still more hilarious. this is the way, i suppose, that the world will be destroyed -- amid the universal hilarity of wits and wags who think it is all a joke.
