Es gibt im Leben wohl keine bessere Waffe als den Humor und manches Problem bliebe uns erspart, wenn wir uns selbst nicht immer so ernst nehmen würden. „Die große und einzige Lebensaufgabe, um die man sich kümmern sollte, ist: glücklich zu leben.“ (Voltaire) „Was kann ein Mensch also Besseres tun, als lustig sein?“ Allerdings fügt Shakespeare noch hinzu...
