Ambiguous Statement Alluding Tangentially to the Conceit

CASPER

THE FRIENDLY GHOST
Catchy but deliberately ambiguous.
Self-effacing, coy, funny, funny, funny:
poignant. Funny. Poignant, poignancy
implying a general statement about the world
and the way humans behave toward one another.
General statement about the world.
Slight redaction of that statement through irony,
serving to undercut the broad statement
while reinforcing a smaller, more incisive
version of the truth it conveys.
Funny and poignant and charming end
which you then have to live like you believe.
