I am not a particularly funny person. I take almost everything too literally, I think up witty retorts hours later, and even my husband tells me I'm abysmally incapable of proper sarcasm. Because of this, I absolutely rely on people who ARE funny, like you, to lighten things up for me. I especially need that relief in times that feel especially desperate. I don't see your pieces as frivolous because they fill a basic human need. Thank you for making me smile, and almost spit out my coffee, on a regular basis!
