Jesus was a brilliant Jewish stand-up comedian, a phenomenal improviser. His parables are great one-liners.
But I think frustration is hilarious. One of my missions is to bring humor into fine art. It's sacred.
It is often just as sacred to laugh as it is to pray.
There's nothing more fun than making fun of what's sacred.
Great men may jest with saints; 'tis wit in them; But, in the less foul profanation.
Only the saints would joke so about the gods, because it was either joke or scream, and they alone knew it was all the same to the gods.
I suspect that Jesus spoke many of his parables as a kind of sad and holy joke and that that may be part of why he seemed reluctant to explain them because if you have to explain a joke, you might as well save your breath.
Laugh at what you hold sacred, and still hold it sacred.
