Fortune, which has a great deal of power in other matters but especially in war, can bring about great changes in a situation through very slight forces.
In comedy, though, it's good to get feedback from the audience about what they find funny.
Lebanon is restless, Syria got its walking papers, Egypt is scheduling elections with more than one candidate, and even Saudi Arabia, whose rulers are perhaps more terrified of women than rulers anywhere else in the world, allowed limited municipal elections.
