Summary

This quote suggests that humor can be a more effective means of conveying advice or knowledge than serious and solemn teaching. When advice is delivered through a joke, people may be more receptive and open to understanding the message. Humor has a way of engaging people and putting them at ease, allowing them to absorb the advice in a light-hearted and less intimidating manner. By using jokes as a vehicle for transmitting wisdom, the quote suggests that people may be more likely to take the advice to heart and apply it to their own lives.
