ya know..2 people sit in a room staring at each other for a 50 minute hour (?) & rehash crap..."i don;'t think people like me" while the other periodically nods their head & says.."how does that make you feel?"

and you don't find humor in that?

humor is essential for me. need it. have to have it. my childhood sucked. got the crap beat out of me because i was funny...& then continued to be funny..probably even more so, well just because.

it can backfire..wrong place, wrong time, wrong audience..any comic will tell you that. you gotta know your crowd. i used to give speeches to 130+ people numerous times a day & would toss in tons of humor..you tailor to the the crowd. i can make history funny..i can also talk down a crazed idiot at times by making him laugh..

my t & i laugh..at each other, at other people at others being loud in other rooms, her kids, husband, my crazy neighbor, what ever. it's a bond.
