Immanuel Kant’s Only Joke

Jay, thank you for quoting one of my favorite verses from one of my favorite books of the Bible. It was also actually the punch line of what I read was Immanuel Kant’s only joke. I can’t for the life of me remember where I read it, or find a link, but here goes. (Trigger warning: 19th-century misogyny ahead. Disclaimer: I strongly disapprove of it.) “How do we know that there are no women in heaven? Because in the Book of Revelation it says there was silence in heaven for half an hour.”
