I greatly admire Bob Hope and Will Rogers. They are universally loved in this country because they could take some very serious issues, such as politics and war, and find some humor in the midst of them. Such genius is rare. Today's comedians and writers often resort to the sordid and the coarse to make people laugh. This is unfortunate.
Humans have a wonderful ability to laugh.
I am convinced that a good laugh, like a good cry, is physically and emotionally healthy and there is much research to bear this contention out. I am not a gifted humorist. But I believe it is important that we all find some time in our day for a good laugh. I'll close with a few more actual headlines. Eye Drops Off Shelf.
