I had thought — I had been told — that a 'funny' thing is a thing of a goodness. It isn't. Not ever is it… — Robert A. Heinlein

I had thought — I had been told — that a 'funny' thing is a thing of a goodness. It isn't. Not ever is it funny to the person it happens to. Like that sheriff without his pants. The goodness is in the laughing itself. I grok it is a bravery … and a sharing … against pain and sorrow and defeat.
