Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives.h can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying “no," criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without losing his face.For some jobs, it is the only tool hat can succeed.It is a way to discus subjects so sensitive that serious dialogue may start a riot.For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today forracial and religious tolerance than are people in any other forum.Humor is often the best way to keep a small misunderstanding from escalating into a big deal.Recently a neighbor of mine had a 8squabble with his wife as she drove him to the airport.Airborne, he felt miserable, and he knew she did, too.Two hours after she returned home, she received a long distance phone call."Person-to-person for Mrs.I.A.Pologize," in toned the operator.' 'That's spelled' P' as in ...”.In a twinkling, the whole day changed from grim to lovely at both ends of the wire.An English hostess with a quick wit was giving a formal dinner for eight distinguished guestswhom she hoped to enlist in a major charity drive.Austerity was a fashion in England at the time, and she had asked her children to serve the meal.She knew that anything could happen....and it did, just as her son, with the studied concentration of a tight rope walker, brought in a large roast turkey; he successfully elbowed the swinging dining room door, but the backswing de-plattered(撞倒)the bird onto the dining-room floor.The boy stood rooted; the guests stared at their plates.Moving only her head the hostess smiled at her son,' "No harm, Daniel" , she said, “just pick him up and take him back to the kitchen"...she enunciated(阐 明)clearly so he would think about what she was saying..."and bring in the other one.A wink and a one-liner instantly changed the dinner from a red-faced embarrassment to a conspiracy of fun.
