I'm glad you popped in, you're funny. The answer, probably because he knew what was good for him

I think that something is wrong with me (Immaturity?) because I'm the only one of my peers at home that still enjoys comedy, an old favorite is Benny Hill.

I am doing a rerun of "that 70's show", and every time I see someone from Wisconsin on SF, I control myself to not say "Hellooo Wisconsin".(The show "took place" in Wisconsin.)

Thursday I watched Trevor Noah: Afraid of the Dark, a standup comedy show mixed with a lot of wisdom and he said something very (enlightening) nice about the female part.

Is there a link between spirituality and comedy?
Was the person from the Bible that came up with the saying/verse/quote: "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" also a comedian?
Will I loose my "appetite" for comedy if I awaken or reach enlightenment?

There's nothing wrong with you Taking a Break, remembering to see the funny side of life is a great thing. Look how funny, intelligent, and wise Robin Williams was.

Is the female part joke too rude to put on here? I'm now wondering what it is

I think you're already awakened, you sound like a good person with a kind heart. And you know what kindness is.

Taking a Break, the King James version of that quote isn't so comical:


Matt.7. [1] Judge not, that ye be not judged. [2] For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. [3] And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

It's hilarious to consciously talk about a beam in someone's eye. (or more when a very serious person like a teacher or preacher is talking about beams in someones eye) ,
I wander how kids would comment.
A psychological analysis would be nice to read about all those hilarious sayings.
