The comic element was made up, not by the comic parson who is utterly unlike anything that ever existed, not by the typical funny man who is only funny because he is a grotesque caricature, not by the expression of a sense of the ludicrous in much of the tenderness of life. We laughed because the inanities of the normal revues were exposed as mercilessly as the trivialities of authority — those trivialities that authority takes so serious- ly. We laughed because we saw exhibited the incredible ...nature of the fate that is ours. We 152 STANDING BY laughed because we know it to be a very jest of the gods that we should have to live as we live and do as we do. And we laughed at ourselves, because being men and decent citizens, we found ourselves so helplessly the sport of circum- stances.
