Roz Chast on George Booth's Cartoons

There's almost nothing I like more than a laughing fit. It is a non-brain response, like an orgasm or a sneeze.

I wish I could say that only the comedies of Aristophanes make me laugh, but then my pants would catch on fire. I have cracked up at bons mots, but also at dirty jokes, dumb pets, and all sorts of things I "shouldn't" laugh at. Someone recently told me a joke that involved the pun "a frayed knot," and I laughed like a lunatic. I don't know why, and I don't care.

Laughing is laughing.
