The Assault of Laughter
12/2/2018 2:11:19 AM


The essence of laughter...


Words of wisdom by the justly esteemed Mr. Mark Twain that might well be carried through the upcoming New Year…
“The human race in its poverty has unquestionably one really effective weapon—laughter. Power, money, persuasion. Supplication, persecution—these can lift at a colossal humbug—push it a little, weaken it a little, century by century but, only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand.”
Although pleasantly ensconced on the other side of the planet, laughter seems to be a trait sorely absent upon the horizon of America. Perhaps, along with truth & tolerance, a casualty of “Political Correctness”. What a shame!
Personally, however, I believe that the noblest and most compelling humor is of a self-deprecating nature; not at the expense of others. Consider the current breed of moronic late night show hosts compared to Johnny Carson. They’re simply not funny and that is the mortal sin of comedy. The most egregious example is Trevor Noah. He should go back to where he came from and apply his 3rd rate talents to addressing the rampant racial crimes so prevalent now in South Africa which is rapidly becoming a failed state.
