You sneering at yourself in the bathroom mirror is not true laughter....

"Then there’s another way. Kill by laughter. Laughter is an instrument of human joy. Learn to use it as a weapon of destruction. Turn it into a sneer. It’s simple. Tell them to laugh at everything. Tell them that a sense of humour is an unlimited virtue. Don't let anything remain sacred in a man’s soul – and his soul won’t be sacred to him. Kill reverence and you’ve killed the hero in man. One doesn’t reverence with a giggle. He’ll obey and he’ll set no limits to obedience – anything goes – nothing is too serious."

"Hi, Joe. I hear your whole purpose here on SI is to piss people off. Just wanted to let you know you're not doing a particularly good job at it. It's hard to get too pissed off"

No need for that language, lad. It doesn't add anything to your biceps when you demonstrate vulgarity. You keep that kind of language up, somebody will probably report you--you silly sot...
