Humor is very important in tough times. You need some good yuks to brighten up your spirits. I know this is to be true. When I was a junior in high school, I did a talent show that consisted of me doing a monologue from play that I had a lead. It was some old time acting that was called "Spartcus to the Gladiators" in which I wore a toga for this performance. It was so dry and boring, and it needed a big finish. When I was done, I had the MC land a plate plied high with shaving cream into my face. This was a salute to Soupy Sales. There was a moment of pure bliss. The entire audience of over 500 went completely silent then erupted in laughter. Here are a few great examples of comedians in tune with their craft: "The Moose"; "Baseball vs Football"; and "Prison."
