Get the Mr. Lincoln mug.
A sarcastic phrase meant to downplay the complaint or misfortune of another person, similar to playing the world's tiniest violin with one's fingers.

It is a reference to the assassination of President Lincoln. Can be substituted with any phrase referring to a tragic event, such as, "Other than that, how was the flight, Sullie?"
"I just found out I have to work this weekend."
"Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?"

You say this dark/macabre humor phrase to lighten things up when both people have been discussing sad topics. You laugh a little bit because it is so bad to say and then you move on to talking about lighter subject things again. It is a segue (pronounced seg-way) / (a conversational bridge)from sad subjects back to lighter ones.

I find it very useful, although some people have not heard it before and they get confused and don't know what you are talking about, so you have to explain it to them. Then they laugh and you both move on to lighter subjects.
Wow, that's too bad that your friend's sister's hairdresser's brother got in a car accident and lost his pinky toe. (both people feel sad and there is silence and conversation is halted) and so another person says , "But other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play!" Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln? And that is a shocking and awful thing to say, but it makes people laugh because it is so shocking and awful. Do not say this though if something is really really sad, because it will not lighten things up and it will make people mad and hurt their feelings.

A jokingly-sarcastic way of making light of a truly serious situation --- Abe was **shot to death** at the play's "ending", for goodness' sake!! :P
A couple of excellent occasions to dust off da ol' "So aside from the ending, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?" gag would be if either someone has just been helped out of the mud and is so incredibly soiled that he's having to be stripped naked and cleaned off with a pressure-washer, or you go to visit him in the hospital after a serious accident and he's all swathed in casts and bandages and/or hooked up to a myriad of tubes and wires, and so you're trying to cheer him up a little.
