"My hard drive is just spinning," a woman said this morning.
Everyone laughed. She wasn't talking about her computer. She referred to herself.
Pretty funny calls this morning. Giddiness rules today. People are feeling fried. References to their memory failures, hard drive crashes...

When someone makes me laugh, I fall a little bit in love with that person. Whatever stood between me and the other slips away, at least momentarily. We are there, together, laughing, rearranging the world inside.
Antonya Nelson has a wonderful essay, “Mom’s on the Roof: The Usefulness of Jokes in...

Puns have been described by a non-admirer as "the lowest form of humor." However, this estimation is not shared by all. One of the status lines on my Facebook account that got the most response was: "Some psychology students are too Jung and easily Freudened." I know, insert...
