Quote of the Day (E. B. White, on Dissecting Humor)
“Humor can be dissected, as a frog can, but the
thing dies in the process and the innards are discouraging to any but the pure
scientific mind.”— Essayist E. B. White, Preface to A Subtreasury of American Humor, edited
by E. B. White and Katherine S. White (1941)
I'm a librarian (no, NOT a "cybrarian" or "information scientist" or any of the other trendy terms the profession has come up with), as well as a freelance writer/researcher; my political leanings are contrarian, much to the dismay of friends on the left and right, and so I will give anyone looking for my vote exactly what they deserve -- the back of my hand
