Premium Member A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR BLUNTS THE SHARP BLADES OF REALITY
"Humor can alter any situation and help us cope at the very instant we are laughing." –Allen Klein A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR BLUNTS THE SHARP BLADES OF REALITY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I lay on the table, a modern-day sacrificial lamb, pillow cradling my head, a fortress of foam and fabric.

Premium Member what else do you have to do
what else do you have to do? She asks me. She is young. This is probably why she feels I am a slug. A sloth who holds down a recliner. A do-nothing who does nothing. I could build a swing set I tell her. Could swim a mile. Could enter a dance contest. Could build a bridge. Could plant a garden. Could travel to London. She...

A Good Sense Of Humour Blunts The Sharp Blades Of Reality
How I hate it when they call me a clown, Yet I can't help but make people laugh. It comes unbidden, needing no invitation — As though a trove of jokes is placed in my mouth. Often I try to bridle my face and talk tough, But when a flume of gloom drowns spirits deep down, Then my sense of humour...
