    Kerkeling ueber Humor

    "Eigentlich ist Humor doch nichts anderes als das Verhindern von Eskalation. Ein Ventil. Wer von Herzen lacht, signalisiert: ich bin nicht gefaehrlich." (Hape Kerkeling in Ich bin dann mal weg. Meine Reise auf dem Jakobsweg. Muenchen: Pieper, 2006.)

    The Welsh

    "Call me a racist, but when it comes to the Welsh, I immediately summon my irregular verb theory of life. [...] And in my considered opinion, the Welsh are a humourless, clannish bunch whose contribution to the sum total of human happiness is on the negative side of the ledger." (Val McDermid's Blue Genes, 1996)
