Laughing Stereotype Shyness

More From Paul Merton

It was only in south africa that i got over this shyness, though i never completely overcame it. it was impossible for me to speak impromptu. i hesitated whenever i had to face strange audiences and avoided making a speech whenever i could. even today i do not think i could or would even be inclined to keep a meeting of friends engaged in idle talk.
Thinking Speech Today
"i've found out why people laugh. they laugh because it hurts so much... because it's the only thing that'll make it stop hurting" ... "but that's not all people laugh at." "isn't it? perhaps i don't grok all its fullness yet. but find me something that really makes you laugh sweetheart... a joke, or anything else- but something that gave you a a real belly laugh, not a smile. then we'll see if there isn't a wrongness wasn't there." he thought. "i grok when apes learn to laugh, they'll be people."

It [the constitution] didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the constitution, at least as it's been interpreted, and the warren court interpreted it in the same way that generally the constitution is a charter of negative liberties. it says what the states can't do to you, it says what the federal government can't do to you, but it doesn't say what the federal government or the state government must do on your behalf. and that hasn't shifted.

And as far as doing god's work, i think the bankers who took government money and then gave out obscene bonuses are the same self-interested sorts jesus threw out of the temple.
Jesus Thinking Government
An impractical man--which he not only seems to be, but really is--will always be unreliable and unpredictable in his dealings with others. he will engage in actions that mean something else to him than to others, but he is at peace with himself about everything as long as he can make it all come together in a fine idea.
