If you can't see what I find ridiculous about something, or ironic, or just plain fun, then we're not going to get along very well. Lee and I laugh. Al the time. I see people in restaurants who sit across from one another and never seem to have anything to say to one another, and I feel really bad for them. Most of what we're talking about is hopelessly inane, but I'd much rather be laughing about the way the waiter is serving us than sitting in stony silence waiting for the appetizers to arrive.
Laughter is a connection.
It's the way I get to know people, by seeing what they laugh at. By the way, Louise is pretty damned funny herself.
