Luca Simmons+ I will! lol The idea is that the person is asking, 'would you want to know _how_ and _when_ you were going to die? Both are very specific pieces of information; the person asking would probably only know for sure, both *how and when* if they were planning on taking the actions causing the other ones death. This is confirmed by the reply (to the answer "no") _never mind then_ it's like saying, 'OK i won't tell you how (or when) i am planning on killing you'. I think the subtlety of this this joke makes it one of his better ones, hope this helps ^^

The House of Ten Genres: Yes, but the humor is derived from the fact that the question is posed as a _hypothetical_ in the set-up. The punchline (never mind then...) makes you realize that it was not a hypothetical question but something that the questioner was privy to (either from psychic ability or through knowledge of a plot to kill him). The sudden realization that the question was not hypothetical is surprising and thus funny.
