“Laughter really is the best medicine and there are no strict lines to be drawn for its use. You shouldn't assume you understand why someone is joking about something and you should never ever rob somebody of their sense of humor. You might just be taking away their lifeline.”

“Now, look you here, Sekundar," says I, but he came up straight like a little bantam and cut me off.
