The joke is mightier than the sword.

The pen is mightier than the sword.

I get very confused about being called a comedian, because when you say 'I'm a comedian,' people expect you to crack a joke. Maybe I use laughter and humour to make people think. I don't know what you call that - a humourist? A satirist? A pessimistic comedian? I don't know. Satirists can be very dark.

The pen is mightier than the sword, and is considerably easier to write with.

The pen is mightier than the sword if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp.

Anyone who thinks the pen is mightier than the sword has not been stabbed with both.
