Summary

This quote suggests that chaos in an already chaotic situation is not humorous, as it intensifies the disorder. However, chaos occurring in an otherwise orderly setting creates a stark contrast, which can be perceived as amusing. It implies that unexpected disruptions can be comical when they occur in an environment that is typically structured and organized. The juxtaposition of chaos and order enhances the perception of chaos as humorous, highlighting the value of harmonious and predictable circumstances.
