MORE HUMOR FROM KRAUTHAMMER

A few days ago, you heard here something about Charles Krauthammer’s superior sense of humor. Here are two other splendid examples you could miss, if you skip the index in his book THINGS THAT MATTER. They are located one page after the index and we can know the author himself wrote these, though the passage appears in the third person pronoun. How do we know that? It sparkles with his kind of wit, that’s how! Anyone else writing this with his style should be heavily fined, but not by government.

Krauthammer says he is retired from doctoring but is still board-certified as a psychiatrist, and is best considered as a psychiatrist in remission.

The last two sentences on the page contain the other gem: “He lives with Robyn, an artist and sculptor, in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Their front yard, however, is in Washington, D. C.”

Perhaps there are those who see nothing funny about these two illustrations, but as for me, that’s my kind of humor. He’s like this throughout the book—well, I suppose he is—I haven’t finished reading it yet. ♥
