Comedy

I heard an interesting quote this week:

"Comedy is a basically a very aggressive thing to do - you force people to see things your way so powerfully, they react audibly..."

- Jerry Seinfeld 1987 (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=10092407)

I occasionally (very occasionally) have the good feeling of having people laugh at my wisecracks or jokes. I suppose I don't know any timid or insecure people that are funny, but until now, I never really thought of comedy as an aggressive activity.
