I’ve been thinking about comedians because a former comedian, Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelesnkyy, is challenging the might of Vladimir Putin, uniting and inspiring the free world.
When I was 7, I wasn’t scared one bit when the Master Sergeant said Fidel Castro and Nikita Khrushchev were taking us to the edge of nuclear war over missiles in Cuba because Mrs. Montaño had us practice “duck and cover” at school. The impression I got from the “duck and cover” movie was that if we had a nuclear war I might get to stay home from school for a while.Later I heard the Master Sergeant tell mom, “The Russkies backed down. Let’s celebrate by going bowling at the Copa.
I knew a kid in high school who had fallen on a transformer in middle school and was badly scarred. One lunch hour I watched a vicious bully, who thought he was funny, taunt Ben outside the gym.Weary of the bullying, Ben snapped and pummeled the bully’s chest. The bully responded with devastating force, beating tears and blood out of Ben until Ben’s wailing was eclipsed by the school monitor’s shrieking whistles, shocking us all back into our consciences.
