Humor is emotional chaos remembered in tranquility.

James Thurber

There was a power outage at a department store yesterday.
Twenty people were trapped on the escalators.

Humor is something which in today's world is as rare as a blue rose. While there are multiple opportunities for everyone to sit back and have a good laugh (traffic jams, governmental gridlock, threats of biological and nuclear extermination), far too many of us rely on those good old standbys, blind rage and mindless violence.

There is only one word for that: BORING! There's no creativity in it, it's simply knee-jerk cause and effect. Look at the humor in Cyrano de Bergerac. When he is insulted by a particularly artless fellow about his nose, Cyrano expounds at length on how this dullard could have insulted him in a more colorful, eloquent and witty manner. Cyrano then quickly dispatches him with his sword. Now THAT is humorous.Foul deeds should always be preceded by flashes of intense, if not brilliant wit. This may even serve to defuse a violent situation, which would be a wonderful thing for the potential victim and perpetrator but very bad for the press since they'd have nothing to report except, you guessed it, good news!

It seems the best way to get through this contemptibly complicated and profoundly self-serious life is to laugh. Most imporantly, we should laugh at ourselves, our foibles and failings; then let loose on the other guy. Enjoy your life with it's ups and downs and laugh a little. It's far too short to do otherwise.
