I am not humorless - I am full of equal parts black bile and yellow bile. Somewhat more sanguine lately, due to the baseball playoffs beginning.
"I have neither the scholar's melancholy, which is emulation; nor the musician's, which is fantastical; nor the courtier's, which is proud; not the soldier's which is ambitious; nor the lawyer's, which is politic; nor the lady's, which is nice; nor the lover's, which is all these: but it is a melancholy of mine own, compounded of many simples, extracted from many objects, and indeed the sundry contemplation of my travels, which, by often rumination, wraps me in a most humorous sadness."
- William Shakespeare, As You Like It
Humorless? I think not!
"I have a fine sense of the ridiculous, but no sense of humour."
- Edward Albee, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (act I)
