People are always asking me why a monk would be funny. You can't win. People ask me all kinds of questions. Because of this book I've been giving lots of interviews.
Some questions make sense.
The Marx Brothers, Ed Wynn, Fanny Brice, Eddie Cantor and Gracie Allen. Then I spend twenty minutes trying to explain who these funny people were to 27 year old reporters who think Bob Hope was a U.S. President. One young person I met thought Dinah Shore was a restaurant on the coast. But then I get some really strange questions. One reporter asked me if, as a monk, did I do my humor talks in total silence.
