Is that bigotry? Or just funny?

Funny. And I'm gay.

If you can't laugh at yourself, there's no hope for you.


All British humour needs a victim, and the stand-ups generally have a
thinly disguised contempt for anyone but themselves.

All humour needs a 'victim'.

Actually, I think I
can do without humour (and maybe laughter) altogether.

I never could.



I don't rule out smiling! NBC's Parks and Rec is a good example of
"victimless" humour IMO. The writers need to be a whole lot cleverer
than Clarkson though.
