"People, not just reporters, are more interested in politics than in government, so the actual issues..." — Calvin Trillin

I never did very well in math - I could never seem to persuade the teacher that I hadn't meant my answers literally.

There's always a source for humor.

With humor, it's so subjective that trying to think of what the ideal reader would think would drive you crazy.

I actually think of being funny as an odd turn of mind, like a mild disability, some weird way of looking at the world that you can't get rid of.
