"A real index of intelligence is humor, you know? It requires great affection for people and the world and the act of being, a forgivingness and a bemusement. The sure sign of the fanatic is an absence of humor." - Terence McKenna twitter.com/taotechimp/sta…

Replying to @hormeze and @sharanvkaur

in seminary they told us not to joke about god because "one joke can erase a thousand torah's (teachings)". I think they were right, a joke can indeed be more powerful than a thousand lessons.
