humour

is

a

form

of

protest.

it

is

an

alternative

to

suicide.

laughter

reaches

out

toward

the

future

and

the

goodness

of

life,

even

where

there

is

none.

it

ridicules

the

self

importance

of

existence,

puts

it

into

perspective.

the

best

of

humour

has

an

edge

of

self

mockery

about

it.

it

cuts

through

the

bullshit

and

relieves

the

unrelenting

seriousness

of

daily

existance.

the

funniest

people

are

also

the

saddest

people.

they

see

things

as

they

really

are,

and

that

is

why

they

laugh
