I am a temporary amusement.

Amusement is a way of boredom-avoidance through external stimulation that fails to exercise our minds. It's mere diversion.

Fortunately, I am accustomed to creating amusement inadvertently.

'Amusement' is appealing because we don't have to think; it spares us the fear and anxiety that might otherwise prey on our thoughts.

My purpose is to entertain and please myself. I feel that if I am entertained, then there will be enough other readers who will be entertained, too.

You come to my comedy show to be entertained.

I think you're put here on earth to enjoy yourself. And I'm doing that.

We are not here to laugh.

I'm not one to intellectualize why I did something.
