English is at its highest and best use in comedy. Unfortunately, comedy is much harder to write than straight prose or tragedy. And fewer people understand true comedy. Everyone understands slapstick, but real comedy presupposes intelligence and the ability to discern not just different levels of language, but different levels among people.
