(There was a noticeable delay before my frontal lobe caught up to it and put it into words). I've seen that joke before, both in my personal (solo) meditation practice ... and watching other people too and in a couple other places (For example, buried in the Kenji manga). I don't want to go too far to explain it though, other then it's a Zen koan kind of a thing and not meta in the normal way; maybe that's what you're driving at with solemn whimsy. Maybe it set up some sort of false expectation for Nude Descending Staircase for me.
