Comedy is rooted within our ignorance
A bittersweet fight against
sensibilityWe laugh at pain and stupidity not intellect
Sadness releases comic emotions like rain
But it takes sensation to make it work
And a sparkling wit to draw the crowd
Thanks for all the laughs you gave Joan
And if controversy is a kind of salvation
Consider yourself now fully redeemed
Joan Rivers (American Comedienne 1933-2014)
