Humor makes our heavy burdens light and smoothes the rough spots in our pathways.
Humor is hard, hard, hard. And if you fail with humor, you don't fail halfway. You drop the ball humor-wise and everyone notices.
Humor is a spontaneous, wonderful bit of an outburst that just comes. It's unbridled, its unplanned, it's full of suprises.
Humor springs from rage, hay fever, overdue rent and miscellaneous hell.
I like to respond with jokes and to keep it as light as possible.
I think if the joke is in good taste - it's a good joke.
