You remember Alan Coren, the humorist? He once told his son, 'Don't write the first thing that comes into your head--the dim kids will have had that idea. Don't write the second either--the clever boys will probably have thought of that one. Write the third idea--that will be yours alone."

Tony Hill, Val McDermid, “Cross and Burn”

My father would think it was very impolite to expect people to sit quietly while you seriously say what you think. Who cares what you think? Think of a joke or just be quiet.

I was brought up to believe that it is a bit offensive to say something serious if you could make a joke instead
