![“I don't know what humor is. Anything that's funny -- tragedy or anything, it don't make no difference so [long as] you happen to hit it just right. But there's one thing I'm proud of -- I ain't got it in for anybody. I don't like to make jokes that hurt anybody.” quote by Will Rogers](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/39c/will-rogers-272_funny_i-don-t-know-what-humor-is-anything-that_1515022.jpg)
