"The world is a comedy to those that think; a tragedy to those that feel." Horace Walpole.
Also known as: If I didn't laugh, I'd be crying.
And comedians must know the danger of poking fun at autocrats. Remember Kathy Griffin and her holding up a replica of Trump's bloody severed head? The phony morality police tried to ruin her career. I say, fuck'em if they can't take a joke.
