Your sharing of how you made your nurse laugh made me think about my dad. We still talk about the one-liners he could come up with, making his nurses laugh as they cared for him during a difficult and serious illness. Actually, the situation you are describing shows you as a kind soul, using your gift of wit to make someone else’s day a little brighter. Even as you were undergoing something so hard, you brought laughter to another human being. Humor and timing go hand-in-hand. Your timing was perfect. You made a memorable impression on that nurse, even as you were in such a scary time. Nurses need those lovely, gently funny interactions with their patients. I don’t think they get enough of them. Even though you did not know that nurse well and will never see her again, that brief moment in time is an illustration of that famous, and so true, quote from Maya Angelou. . . “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” (That well-known quote applies to both the positive and the negative in so many different types of encounters we have with each other, sometimes even in something as anonymous as TOTV posts — and it certainly applies to how we respond to varying forms of humor.)

So, the subject went from Russian bans to hurting people's feelings. Don't see the correlation.

I guess I'll have to kill myself, my sister, my mom, dad, my aunts, and all my cousins. Or maybe I just don't find any humor in this particular flavor of "cancel culture."

OK. It was my fault. I did the segue into the spectrum, the range, that is humor.
I broadened the topic — which is what I do sometimes in conversation with people I can actually see. The moderator brought things back on the track that the majority want, and get, I guess. Oh, well. Carry on. BBL, Boomer |
