    If he’s only looking at the front page, why is he even buying the newspaper? Can’t he see it just by walking in front of the place?

        Well, it’s better to burn out than to fade away.

        The joke would have worked if he just went and looked at the front page but never bought the paper. No reason to have such a dumb oversight, it makes the joke worse.

          See, the West even wants jokes more efficient.

          No, no, you have to know, they don’t understand our rebellion by working to rule - let the seller snap, not us…

          …but, Ockam’s Razor…

          It’s hopeless.

      I think the joke would make more sense if the guy picked up the newspaper, unfolded it to see the entire front page, and then put it back and never bought it, day after day. The seller would still get mad because the guy never buys it, he only looks at the front page headline.

      He is just veing nice to the seller and actually giving him business.

      For a year, the man just looks at the front page without buying the newspaper.

      Why does he never die? the man asks. I bet it’s because I don’t buy the paper. If I buy the paper, then the man will die sooner.

      So the man starts buying the paper.
