no. 28 – A Thank You Note to
              Those Who Always
              Seem to Find (and
              Express) Honest
              Humor During the
              Bleakest of Times


Because what’s morbid, what’s
tragic, can so often also be
pretty hilarious. There’s ten
acity and there’s intentional
deflection or redirection or,
better yet, intense focus on
the absolute worst of what
can be experienced. Sure,
guffaws belie the battle
rollercoastering tumult
whatever it happens to be.
Be strong. Be real. Crying
and expressions of outrage
or fear can be very helpful,
too, of course. This is for
all of the stand-up artists.
This is for Gilbert Gottfried.
