Truth and Humor

The routine of the story is very Hollywood, but in terms of details, it is quite ridiculous. If humans never lie, then the world is really full of black humor and self-satisfaction.

For example, greeting your neighbor in the morning: how are you?
The neighbor responded: Very bad. I committed suicide last night but the pills were all vomited out again.
You continue to greet you: Oh, have a nice day! The
neighbor replied: Okay, if I have not succeeded in suicide today.

In addition, my favorite Edward Norton appeared as a policeman in it. When asked how much he could bribe him to let off a drunk driving driver, he would not lie and said: 5 million. The other party asked why so many? He replied: "Only in this way can I feel that I am very valuable and powerful, and cover up the boredom and humbleness of this job." . .

For this dialogue, I will give 4 stars!
