The character in "Stranger in a Strange Land" is Valentine Michael Smith, and he discovers that most humor is based on laughing at distress or indignities suffered by others. Pretty close to "pain" I guess.<BR/><BR/>Reminder to self: Check <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stranger_in_a_Strange_Land" REL="nofollow">Wikipedia</A> BEFORE posting!Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12953251818466792517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354172197004069242.post-76431525621574696462007-06-10T12:31:00.000-06:002007-06-10T12:31:00.000-06:00The poor wheelchair guy!

Can you imagine if any of the rest of us had gotten that sentence? Before she went in the first time I was watching the news when they showed the type cell she'd be in, and I remember thinking, "There's no way she'll make it a day in there." But what really bothers me is that this story makes the news at all!!! It belongs on the cover on the Enquirer, but not on national or even local news. The world is getting crazier by the minute. One day the Rapture will happen, but no one will know because the news is too fixated on what Paris and Britney are up to.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264393130711805218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354172197004069242.post-80160661515049658572007-06-10T06:53:00.000-06:002007-06-10T06:53:00.000-06:00Michael Valentine, the man from Mars in Robert A. ...Michael Valentine, the man from Mars in Robert A. Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land," finally understands humor by concluding that all humor comes from pain. Humor is the way humans have devised to deal with it.<BR/><BR/>Think about it...can you come up with a really funny joke that does not involve pain (not necessarily physical) in some way?Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12953251818466792517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354172197004069242.post-65150240989802750612007-06-09T21:36:00.000-06:002007-06-09T21:36:00.000-06:00Well, ok, I laughed at the poor man in the wheel c...Well, ok, I laughed at the poor man in the wheel chair.

We all stood in amazement as we watched, not knowing what to do because we couldn’t catch up - all we could do was hope for the best. We saw her fly down the hill, arms waving until the wheelchair eventually came to a stop at the end of the hill. After she had stopped for a few moments, the wheelchair just kinda tipped over for no apparent reason with her in it. We all laugh about it now because she wasn't hurt at all, and it sure was a funny sight to see! Poor grandma, bless her heart.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984091476415689139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354172197004069242.post-14071903604317269322007-06-09T09:10:00.000-06:002007-06-09T09:10:00.000-06:00I read the news today, oh boy...I read the news today, oh boy...Chaotic Hammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17713799579650424883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354172197004069242.post-78154302520168058302007-06-09T06:34:00.000-06:002007-06-09T06:34:00.000-06:001.

Paris- I am ever so glad noone follows me around with cameras when I cry so hard my face swells. <BR/>I don't know why not eating or sleeping in prison is considered a medical condition. I suppose she just might not like the food, and isn't quite hip on the sleeping arrangements made for her. Do they serve sushi in prison, and just what is the threadcount of prison sheets?<BR/><BR/>2. Grey's Anatomy- I cannot believe the man couldn't keep it in the road long while working with gay men. Isn't kindness a better path than, say, losing your job?<BR/><BR/>3. Wheelchair- That would have been the most frightening experience ever. I'd have died of a heart attack, I think.truevynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05998290681038658399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354172197004069242.post-60944835893261601742007-06-09T00:04:00.000-06:002007-06-09T00:04:00.000-06:00That story is off the charts.
