Self People Laughing

More From Tom Robbins

I have always felt comedy and tragedy are roommates. if you look up comedy and tragedy, you will find a very old picture of two masks. one mask is tragedy. it looks like its crying. the other mask is comedy. it looks like its laughing. nowadays, we would say, how tasteless and insensitive. a comedy mask is laughing at a tragedy mask.

I think comedy directors tend to feel a need to justify the bad behavior, and i just never think that. i like bad behavior, i've always liked bad behavior, i'm a fan of bad behavior, and i don't think you have to justify bad behavior.

The only minority in america that's asking for integration is the so-called negro, primarily because he is inferior, not inherently inferior, but he's economically, socially, politically inferior.

When our embassy is attacked in benghazi by terrorists and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when russia invades ukraine and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when syria crosses the red line and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when iran launches tests of ballistic missiles and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when north korea attacks sony pictures and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. in other words, mrs. clinton, you cannot lead from behind. we must respond when we are attacked or provoked.

Ideas may be superior to vested interest. they are also very often the children of vested interest.

"i've found out why people laugh. they laugh because it hurts so much... because it's the only thing that'll make it stop hurting" ... "but that's not all people laugh at." "isn't it? perhaps i don't grok all its fullness yet. but find me something that really makes you laugh sweetheart... a joke, or anything else- but something that gave you a a real belly laugh, not a smile. then we'll see if there isn't a wrongness wasn't there." he thought. "i grok when apes learn to laugh, they'll be people."

This was why i was here. this was why i would take whatever reception waited for me when i got back. because, underneath all the anger and the sarcasm, jacob was in pain. right now, it was very clear in his eyes. i didn't know how to help him, but i knew i had to try. it was more than that i owed him. it was because his pain hurt me, too. jacob had become a part of me, and there was no changing that now.
