Being the author of "Laughing Your Way to Enlightenment," I feel I have some authoritative points to make on this topic. [I'm glad I didn't say I was the writer of that article, because then my points would be writeritative. I think that all humor -- 3 Stooges, Adam Sandler, Woody Allen's, HHDL's -- retains it's zing, once we are enlightened. If there is surprize, we non-judgmentally have to laugh. But, yeah, on the road to The Big Kahuna, we can become over-serious. Nothing bad about that; some people need to mature, turn from being green to yellow bananas. But, of course, I'm only speculating here.
