Filth, I'm Glad To Say, Is In

Oh, The Protestants Hate The Catholics/ And The Catholics Hate The Protestants/ And The Hindus Hate The Muslims/ And Everybody Hates The Jews.

All Books Can Be Indecent Books, Though Recent Books Are Bolder. For Filth, I'm Glad To Say, Is In The Mind Of The Beholder. When Correctly Viewed, Everything Is Lewd. I Could Tell You Things About Peter Pan And The Wizard Of Oz, There's A Dirty Old Man!

One Of The Problems I See With These Comics On Television, Particularly Cable Television, Is, Since You Can Say Anything In Terms Of Sex And Scatological References And So On, Therefore, You Should Do It. So They All Limit Themselves To These Subjects And This Vocabulary. My Objection Is That It Is A Lack Of Articulateness. Irreverence Is Easy, But What Is Hard Is Wit. Wit Is What These Comedians Lack.

I Find Enough Mystery In Mathematics To Satisfy My Spiritual Needs. I Think, For Example, That Pi Is Mysterious Enough (don't Get Me Started!) Without Having To Worry About God. Or If Pi Isn't Enough, How About Fractals? Or Quantum Mechanics?

Comedy Is Very Important. For One Thing, It Keeps You Sane. But It's Not Really A Conversion. I Mean, It's Marginally A Conversion, Because If People Tune In Or Go To A Nightclub Or Even Watch Television, And Hear That A Lot Of Other People Are Laughing At Something You Thought Was Not Funny, At Least It'll Force You To Reconsider.
