Sometimes laughing isn't the best judge of what's funny…

“Sometimes laughing isn't the best judge of what's funny, 'cause I think there's a lot of things that are really funny that don't make you laugh, that don't make you physically, audibly make a noise, but is something that is much more powerful than that.” quote by Tim Heidecker
