Past Jillian has a weird fucking sense of humor. We have that in common, she and I.

Like many other pretentious writer types, I have a writing notebook that I carry around with me everywhere. It's even a Moleskine, because it reminds me of Hemingway and fishing and boats and shit, and also because I like that it has a pocket. 

I mainly use it for chapter outlines and smaller sketches, though every so often I write down jokes. The outlines are usually fine and my sketches are the same poor artwork as always, but the jokes can be pretty hit or miss. Every so often I find a good one, so recently I read through the notebook on the lookout for things to use for Short Posts. 

Flipping through the notebook, I found this scrawled with absolutely no explanation:

The only difference between The Princess Bride and Robin Hood: Men in Tights is mustache.

I have no idea why I wrote this. Was it a joke, or simply an observation? It's important to note here that Cary Elwes, the actor who plays Wesley in The Princess Bride and Robin Hood in Robin Hood: Men in Tights, has a mustache in BOTH movies.

Neither of these films is wanting for mustache. Or HANDSOME.

And yet even though I have no idea what the context for that sentence was supposed to be, and I see that it's not only nonsensical but WRONG, reading it makes me laugh every time. So good job on your weird fucking joke that no one but me would probably find funny, Past Jillian. Well played.
