How's That?


"How come we believe both the truisms 'The Devil 👿 is in the details ✍' & 'Cleanliness is next to Godliness'??? I mean, doesn't cleanliness involve paying attention to details?"  -- original witticism from Marie Byars     
  This type of humor, if the reader grants that it is humor, relies on paradoxical phrasing. Some paradoxical humor can be neatly confined to the classic one-liner.  That was a little difficult with these concepts.
