Analizing humour

"Life is a disease, sexually transmitted and fatal."
Neil Gaiman
I find this quote funny. It is black humour and ironic; to consider life a disease is a cynical point of view because many consider it a gift. What is funny about this quote is that he links the 3 ideas: that it is a disease, that is sexually transmitted and that it's fatal and that there is an element of truth in each.
