Back "In the Day" Joey Heatherton toured with Bob Hope for the USO [United Services Organizations] . They went to various Locations to EASE the Pain of War, and to give "a taste of Home" for battered and beleaguered MEN . Here it is where SEX and COMEDY was employed to Ease the Pain {subdue Suffering}, and supply some Comfort {that IT will end} to OUR Soldiers . Indeed, after Bob, told a few jokes he would introduce Joey to be received with TREMENDOUS CHEERS . One time Bob waited for the OUTBURTS to subside and he rued, "Wow, all you guys need is to SEE her, you sure don't need jokes." 2 words : TRUTH .
I contest that there is an INTIMATE Relationship between Sex and Jokes but that Topic is reserved for another day . I contend, with Zen Master Rivers, that Humor and Laughter is indeed "The Best Medicine" as the famous "Readers Digest has rendered .
Make note that trump is DEVOID of Humor, that "He can't take a joke" ESPECIALLY when HE is the "Butt" of those Jokes . Being unable to take one's self humorously indicates a STUNNTED Mind and an UNDEVELOPED Ego .
My HERO Music Maestro and Saxophone-ist Wayne Shorter once taught :"Music is SERIOUS Business, but there IS such a thing as Serious Humor too", {we need BOTH} .
I will leave this here for today , I thank my Gentle Readers for their Attention .
"Tare Forward" and "Keep the Faith" .
