"Among other things I think humor is a shield, a weapon, a survival
kit.... So here we are several billion of us, crowded into our global
concentration camp for the duration. How are we to survive? Solemnity is
not the answer, any more than witless and irresponsible frivolity is. I
think our best chance lies in humor, which in this case means a wry
acceptance of our predicament. We don't have to like it but we can at
least recognize its ridiculous aspects, one of which is ourselves."
