Life can sure be stressful and difficult at times. Sometimes we can barely catch our breath from one disaster before the next one hits us. Sometimes we feel that no matter what we do, we can't…

Humor is an important part of my life, and it's something that ever since I was a little kid, humor was a way for me to get through things.
If something was really difficult, I'd try to find the humor in it.And sometimes people that would be around me, especially if it was a serious topic, like in the, in the case of my father dying when I was twelve.
There were some things at the time, I don't even re-remember what they were, but I remember joking with my cousin Michael about stuff to do with dying, death and dying, my father dying.
And I, I once or twice might have said something in the company of someone else being in the house or whatever, and they'd overhear me, and they wouldn't find it funny at all.
So it's sometimes something that you need to keep to yourself, [laughing] which is kind of stupid because you're sitting around laughing by yourself.
People-- There were people that were horrified, horrified that I stood up at my brother's funeral a few weeks ago and sang the final version, the final time I would sing Come Wipe My Bum, which was a big joke between my brother and I when we were growing up.
I knew my brother's wife would appreciate it because they always laughed along with it.
And so a lot of people were like, "Oh my God, that's so inappropriate to be doing that." But I knew that my brother and my family would appreciate that.
So humor is something that can really help, but sometimes it can also be a little offensive to people that might be in the midst of trauma.
And, uh, I know my husband Paco gets really tired, really, really tired of me always setting up bits.
And he has a somewhat different sense of humor than me, and he gets very tired of it.
And some of the things I say, I'm just saying for myself or to see his reaction, thinking that I will find his reaction funny.
I think every one of you, if you had to live with me and I was always trying to do a bit, I know that you all would get tired of it.
