  • In prehistoric times, mankind often had only two choices in crisis situations: fight or flee. In modern times, humor offers us a third alternative fight, flee - or laugh.

  • I remember when humor was gentle pokes. I used to call it 'arm around the shoulder' humor. Now they go for the jugular and they take no prisoners. It's mean, mean stuff.

  • Humor starts like a wildfire, but then continues on, smoldering, smoldering for years.

  • Every morning I get up and look through the Forbes list of the richest people in America. If I'm not there, I go to work.

  • I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
