First Comedians
If I’m able to yap in every language, or even sound like a televangelist, and I don’t have funny, I am a boring sermon or a bombastic speech.
If I can guess what’s going to happen next and explain how to solve the Rubik’s Cube, and I have mind control that can convince you that I’m miraculous, but I don’t have funny, I am a boob.
If I give all my pocket change to poor people or even donate my time to community service but I do not pursue funny, I am truly a snoozer.
Funny is impatient, but ultimately kind.
It does yearn for things—but it doesn’t cheat to get them.
And if it gets lucky, it’s grateful.
It doesn’t lie about folks but will poke fun at them. And because it pursues the laughable, it’s not so easy to get pissed off. (And if you have something funnier, you win.)
Funny doesn’t try to promote the dark side, but in its own way, is digging around for truth.
To put it this way, funny always protects the weak, trusts people to get the jokes, hopes the sponsor will rebook—and on a bad night, settles for a burger and fries.
But be sure of this:
Funny rarely fails.
Some people preach, but that will die out.
Other folks negotiate, but eventually the treaties fail.
And you can get enough education to make you a doctor of everything–except comedy.
Since we don’t know everything, we can laugh about most things and in laughing, sometimes we gain understanding.
When I was a little dude, I loved silly things.
Now that I’ve become a big boy, I speak silly things.
It doesn’t make me less mature—just more tolerable.
For it’s hard to understand what’s going on.
Maybe some day we will. Maybe not.
But our job is to promote good cheer—so we can survive.
Now, there are three things at work on Earth:
Facts
Faith
And funny
