Humor starts like a wildfire, but then continues on, smoldering, smoldering for years.

Telling a joke is risk taking. Younger people are more insecure and not willing to put themselves on the line, so a quick one-liner is much safer.

Happiness is a very small desk and a very big wastebasket.

Never raise your hand to your children - it leaves your midsection unprotected.

I remember when humor was gentle pokes. I used to call it 'arm around the shoulder' humor. Now they go for the jugular and they take no prisoners. It's mean, mean stuff.
