tristemente divertido


Explanation:
Hola, María.
¡Menuda ironía!
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
Esta referencia es buena:

"Not So Dumb"

Before going to Europe on business, a man drove his Rolls-Royce to a downtown NY City bank and went in to ask for an immediate loan of $5,000.

The loan officer, taken aback, requested collateral. "Well, then, here are the keys to my Rolls-Royce", the man said.

The loan officer promptly had the car driven into the bank's underground parking for safe keeping, and gave him $5,000.

Two weeks later, the man walked through the bank's doors, and asked to settle up his loan and get his car back. "That will be $5,000 in principal, and $20.30 in Interest", the loan officer said. The man wrote out a check and started to walk away.

"Wait sir", the loan officer said, "while you were gone, I found out you are a millionaire. Why in the world would you need to borrow $5,000?"

The man smiled. "Where else could I park my Rolls-Royce in Manhattan for two weeks and pay only $20.30?"

Mitzi's Note:
"It isn't really funny but is humorous in a way. I just thought it was
"sadly humorous."...".

"Una obra excelente, polémica, y *tristemente divertida*, que ha sido
muy poco vista. Aún no hay opiniones sobre esta película".
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
"tendría que consultar con doña Simone de Sartre), infinidad de variantes,
que son las que hacen que este mundo sea tan *tristemente divertido*".
