Ted Cohen wrote a book
When I was an undergraduate, Ted Cohen would occasionally say that he doesn't write books; he writes articles. He had at that point of course already written an (excellent) book, but I suppose that, despite the title, he would acknowledge that it's not really a work of philosophy. But apparently now he's up and written a philosophy book, too. In honor of this occasion I present a modification of a joke from his previous book the setup to which I read aloud, and the brilliant punchline to which was thought up by one of the listeners (the original being below):
Q: What's big and gray, and sang both jazz and popular songs?
A: Louis Armstrong.

Has he addressed the most humorous joke of all time, which is only effective when spoken out loud, and to which the punchline is "Fünf"?
