I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints, sinners are much more fun (Billy Joel).

For a good laugh take a look at the Hero Sandwich, aka fatal weapons, trial. Who knew that the attorney defending Sean Dunn was a closeted standup comedian who could easily write skits for SNL. Jeannine Pirro did herself fine being the usual loud-mouth idiot she played on Fox farts. The trial displays BlondI's "skill" as AG and shit4brains personal attack dog. Where is Kristi Noem when she is really needed to put down yapping curs? Oh yeah, poor Kristi is trying to figure out how to fly planes without engines. I still laugh when reading about the trial.

Criminy! And old retirees are living in Florida? Are they nuts??? Not to mention it will probably be all ocean and no beach front pretty soon. I get my humor from my mom, who, with her sisters, was known to start a chain of laughter during funerals. And my dad, who while in a lot of major pain, made the priest who gave him last rights remark to me, 'he's quite a character isn't he?' the biggest gift is being able to laugh at ourselves. I like Monty Python's Holy Grail. The plucky black knight who keeps on fighting, 'it's only a flesh wound'. That needs to be us! Things are dark and this regime wants to make it darker, but Hell! That's when you bring out your flashlight (or even a match to light a candle). And not just an 'in memory of' procession. A light the torches and chase out this Frankenstein of a regime. Because that's what it is, a fake person-like body patched together by a faciest oligarchy who can't even sew. The seams are beginning to fray and the brain is starting to spill out. We can't just stand around waiting for the autopsy. Put on your strings of garlic and pull out your crosses (not the fake white Christian kind) and let's try to put an end to this continual bloodsucking. (Sorry to mix my horror movies but this shit show has enough horror to go around).

All you need is love (and maybe a switchblade for emergencies)

Any medical professional who worked in the public health sector at Groote Schuur Hospital from 1983/4-1998/9 as I did, has a gallows humour.

"It takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry"

I'm trying not cry. Again, thanks for being a voice of reason and a source of great dark humor artwork.

A SOH (sense of humor) can serve survival and thrive-all in a variety of ways. Yes, to spare us or push away terror, by expose the ludicrous or foolish aspects of being a human, to have flashes of insight about a Bigger Picture or realm where danger is not 'real,' to create bonding, and generally to open us to creative, inspired action. I write about a Tao (Way) of Play, which can ostensibly find the cosmic laugh in anything, when our hearts are sufficiently wide open.
