"It's only a flesh wound..."

If you were born after 1960 this little phrase probably means little to nothing, 'less of course you're a british comedy video student, or a bored netflix customer with too much time on your hands.

Monty Python coined this shorty to draw humor into those self deprecating moments when, hammered by LIFE, we minimize the impact of the blow and pretend that, hey, it's only a flesh wound. We may be bleeding, in indescribable agony, but...no worries...flesh wound here...carry on.

Maybe it's the best. Wallowing in the tragedy of a situation doesn't cure us either, so...what SHOULD we do to end suffering?


What? You talking to ME? I haven't a clue.


I just pose the questions...I don't actually ANSWER them.
