Today's business and health care climate may not be pleasant. Cutbacks, pay cuts and layoffs do not make anyone's job easy. But that does not mean that the humor need stop.

Humor does not rescue us from unhappiness, but enables us to move back from it a little.
I think there's just too much comedy. Sometimes I get requests from people: 'How do I get into comedy?' And I always say that what we need is more people in health care. And less people in comedy.
I've met a lot of people who've lost their jobs and they still have a sense of humor.
You can turn painful situations around through laughter. If you can find humor in anything, even poverty, you can survive it.
If you are a small company taking on a big company, you need to have a sense of humor.
Humor is richly rewarding to the person who employs it. It has some value in gaining and holding attention, but it has no persuasive value at all.
Whether planned or not, humor takes our mind off of our troubles.
The more I live, the more I think that humor is the saving sense.
I thought that through the strip, I could vent my spleen and be funny at the same time. But when it comes to humor, there's no substitute for reality and politicians.
If you have a sense of irony or humour, you're usually cut down, as you're usually distorted or misinterpreted. So it does lead to us being slightly more dour and staid and predictable than would otherwise be the case, which I personally find quite frustrating - because if you don't laugh occasionally in my job, you cry most of the time.
