When the world seems drunk with despair and any moment is the one that can ruin a whole life I admittedly flee to comedy for both the relief and the cure. Laughter is a grossly under-prescribed fixer of things – both an anesthetic escape and a delivered cure.
Fooling Around at Home, Johnathan Curley’s article in the April 1 edition of the Spokesman-Review, featuring “a few lighthearted pranks to keep the spirit up…” took me back to a time when I saw examples of laughter not always being the best medicine.
