"Though intelligence is powerless to modify character, it is a dab hand at finding euphemisms for its weaknesses." More In Funny "The IRS! They’re like the Mafia, they can take anything they want!"― Jerry Seinfeld "A vegetarian is a person who won’t eat anything that can have children."― David Brenner "I don’t believe that anybody has come to a conclusion on why something is funny.
