![“Funny bones, to me, are more important than funny lines. If a comedian is just not likable and doing the lines, you could read them yourself. Whereas if someone [you like] shambles out, and they tell you what a bad day they've had, they don't have to say anything. I love them. I want to hug them…” quote by Ricky Gervais](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/8c0/ricky-gervais-851_bad-day_funny-bones-to-me-are-more-important-tha_325864.jpg)
