People sometimes ask me, "Will, how can you be so funny?" Well, that don't actually ask me that, because I'm not actually that funny. But if they did, here's what I would tell them.
"Humor is nothing more than a very refined state of recognition, an extreme self-awareness. Because what is laughter, really, than a knowing acknowledgment of the unusual, the unique, the bizarre? We do not laugh at something because it is funny. It is funny because we laugh at it. It is a cycle; we recognize something as humorous, and therefore make it humorous for others.
Also, humor is a street sign that says 'Booger Branch.' Now that's comedy."

I still like Burning Tree Drive in Chapel Hill. Then again, my father works not too far from Lizard Lick Road.
