“There are moments that really remind you that different people see the world in vastly different ways. Take the £45,000 grand piano that fell off a truck and smashed to bits this week. … Why are piano mishaps so hilarious? Partly it’s run-of-the-mill schadenfreude at seeing expensive objects smashed to bits. But mainly, I suspect, it’s because we have been trained by the movies to find shattered pianofortes, in particular, funny.”
