Allen Klein

Humor expands our limited picture frame and gets us to see more than just our problem.

When we can find some humor in our upsets, they no longer seem as large or as important as they once did.

Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world. Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up.

Humor can be one of our best survival tools.

Throughout history, great leaders have known the power of humor.

Sometimes it takes ten seconds to see some humor in your dilemmas, sometimes ten years.

Since the goal of my programs is to show audiences how humor can both help them heal as well as deal with not-so-funny stuff, I decided to discuss the events of the previous week, the pain all of us were feeling, and how humor and some laughter might be beneficial.

Any attempts at humor immediately after September 11th were deemed tasteless.

Whether planned or not, humor takes our mind off of our troubles.

Humor can alter any situation and help us cope at the very instant we are laughing.

Advertisers also know that humor can help bond us to their product.

The tragedy of September 11th was so sudden, so enormous, and so horrendous, both in terms of lives lost and global consequences, that this country and the world went into immediate and prolonged shock.
