The Song of Sidney made me laugh. You probably need to have read the original to get it.
I still get Christian sub-culture jokes, despite God's absentee landlord behaviour and the serious diplomatic incident resulting from the misbehaviour of one of his ambassadors (why yes, I am watching a lot of Babylon 5 lately). If only there were a way to keep that sense of shared community and lose the obsession with blood, sex, sin and death which seemed so inseperable from it.
