quasi-koan


an alternative, more humorous deviation from the traditional koan in the eastern philosophical realm such as:

a quasi-koan almost invariably has a more comedic subtext.

traditional koans are generally devoid of humorous subtexts.

a quasi-koan has a similar, riddle-like essence but is less serious than its traditional predecessor.

i.e., “is a person with mpd ever truly alone?
“if someone farts in a kitten’s face, does the kitten know it is being disrespected?”

hey! that’s a quasi-koan!
