“Fun?” said the executive to whom I would have reported. “Fun has nothing to do with work!” Looking back, I feel fortunate I never had to work for that schmuck." I'm happy you never had to work for him (or her) either! Laughter is the best medicine. And while you're on YouTube, check out Matt Rife. Super funny guy.

Did you hear the one about the orange old man suing his opponent for dropping out of the race? I haven’t had such a good laugh in years!

Not to mention all those guys who spent decades telling women "you should smile more," and are now critiquing the VP prez candidate for laughing.

Love the Marx Brothers. Also I recommend "The Odd Couple" with Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon.
