Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself. Mark Twain

You find out in life that people really like you funny. So what do you give 'em? Humor. And then if you show them the other side, they don't like you as much. I find, too, that I can hide behind the idiot's mask being funny, and you never see the sorrow or the pain. Terry Bradshaw
