I don't have a disregard for my reader in humor pieces.
When I needed to think or was really upset, generally I climbed a tree.
I think what is important for things to be funny is if you the listener, or the reader, get a chance to supply the humor of it yourself.
Russians don't complain, usually.
I don't want to collect Indian art, though pots and beadwork and blankets made by Indians remain the most beautiful art objects in the American West, in my opinion.
