I don't claim to be funny. But sometimes I say things that make people laugh. The problem with writing is that I don't get the pleasure of seeing and hearing people laugh when I make a funny. It has happened on occasion that I thought something I wrote was so funny that I laughed aloud. But cracking yourself up isn't the same as cracking up someone else. We live to put smiles on the faces of others not on our own faces just as we live on order to put food on the plates of others and not to eat ourselves [eating ourselves can't be tasty. Sounds gory, actually].
But there is a great value in being bi-simcha. Like a bumper sticker I saw - "עדיף משוגע ושמח מאשר נורמלי ועצוב" - "Better crazy and happy than normal and sad".
A freliche Tanksgiving!!!
