A Random Passage

“Never make people laugh. If you would succeed in life, you must be solemn, solemn as an ass. All the great monuments are built over solemn asses.” Thomas Corwin. Taken from Bill Kauffman, *Ain't My America: The Long, Noble History of Antiwar Conservatism and Middle-American Anti-Imperialism*.

Senator Corwin, of course, was correct. I guess I don't need to worry about getting a monument built over me. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I make people laugh, either.
