We’ve lost the ability to laugh at ourselves … P.C. humor both lifeless and dry Our levity as tepid as our character flawed Fraying the tightrope —awaiting a fall (Dreamsleep: March, 2023)

Fraying the tightrope…awaiting a fall? Great line. Comedy must be PC. Try reality! You may get arrested, now. Second City~ troupe, Chicago. Stand up comedienne, Chicago and San Francisco in 1976.

Most likely quite accurate, Kurt. There's nothing worse than "tepid levity". Not that it matters a lot, but grammatically the title s/b "Who's Kidding Whom"...I believe "Grammar Check" or "Grammarly" should have caught that.

Right on! Sorry for my butt-in.

Thanks Jim, I regularly defy grammar if I like the word flow.
