I was watching Emily Levine's lecture on Trickster's theory of everything when she mentioned that she once told (insulted.. she calls it the trickster's artistic freedom, i believe) a Mime person (what is the word for that?) that she thought he was stupid when he mentioned he took 18 years to perfect mime when in fact.. it just takes around 2 years for a person to perfect talking.

Interesting observation.
Tells us that at times, we take life too too seriously. I always felt that humour borders on serious topics and even if panned as just a joke.. it brings out observations and more importantly attitudes of people towards that particular subject. Another way to look at it is.. humor is actually serious. (Now.. am i taking life too seriously..:) ). Well all this is subjective as .. the humorist is usually also a person who can tolerate little humor directed towards him/her... :)
So.. humor in private or maybe in a trusted group is what suffices. As long as people live in their hallowed portals and are happy.. who the heck cares.. the problem comes when ideas from one portal tries to permeate other portals.
