Humour makes my world go ‘round
While I’m nowhere near the comedic talent of one of the most talented men on the planet, I am a funny guy. That’s funny haha not funny strange. Okay … Jorge Garcia once said that mixing humour and harsh reality is a very human behaviour – “it’s the way people stay sane in their daily lives.”
