Mel Brooks – Quoted

2009-03-28Where in the world am I today?: North Vancouver, BC, Canada

“Humor is just another defense against the universe.”

–Mel Brooks, US actor, comedian, & movie director (1926 – )

Addendum…

“And lets face it, if you’re defending yourself against the universe you may as well have a few yucks while you’re at it!”

–David ‘checkerhead’ Aiken

I love that in Mel’s vision of things the universe is out to get you and that laughter is the key to survival! For some I guess life isn’t a struggle but there are those moments in my day to day existence where I end up feeling like it’s all some sort of cosmic game of chess and I’m pitted against an opponent who’s WAY smarter than I am. The fact that I know how to make said opponent laugh means a moment of distraction to get out of check-mate and back into the game for another day, week, month, year… Ha!
