"Humor is the mask of wisdom" - Friedrich Dürrenmatt "Humor is also a way of saying something serious" - T. S. Eliot "Total absence of humor renders life impossible" - Colette "Humor is a rubber sword - it allows you to make a point without drawing blood" - Mary Hirsch "Humor is the great thing, the saving thing. The minute it crops up, all our irritations and resentments slip away and a sunny spirit takes their place" - Mark Twain "Humor teaches them tolerance" - W. Somerset Maugham "Imagination was given man to compensate for what he is not, and a sense of humor to console him for what he is" - Unknown Need I say any more? 24040@blogcritics.org Sun, 19 Oct 2003 04:37:05 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/10/18/171651.php#comment-23993 BB, I was trying to find a way to link tis to your search for absurdity, but the reality is so dispiritingly absurd.
