Humor is an affirmation of dignity, a declaration of man's superiority to all that befalls him.
“My husband was an Air Force pilot man years ago and recently an Air Force wife thanked me for my service! I laughed and said, 'No, I wasn't in the Air Force, my husband was!' And she smiled and said, 'If he served, you served. And thank you.'”
“Given the choice of Hollywood or poking steel pins in my eyes, I'd prefer steel pins.”
