I find it doesn't pay to take oneself too seriously. And I like that sort of irreverence when I see it with other people.

Irreverence is the champion of liberty and its only sure defense

True irreverence is disrespect for another man's god

Impiety, n. Your irreverence toward my deity

One of my favorite movies of all time is 'It's A Wonderful Life,' which is a pretty interesting choice for a seasonal Christmas favorite, because it's about a guy who wants to commit suicide and is presented with reasons not to.

My favorite was the Green Mile parody in Mad Magazine.
