Humor that is edgy is never squeaky clean.

Humor that is edgy is never squeaky clean.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that edgy humor, by nature, does not conform to being spotlessly clean or politically correct. It suggests that humor that pushes boundaries or challenges societal norms tends to flirt with controversy, employing a more daring and often provocative approach. The term "edgy" implies a degree of risk-taking, pushing boundaries, and intentionally stepping out of the comfort zone. Unlike squeaky clean humor that follows a safe and conventional path, edgy humor thrives on the fringes, pushing the envelope and testing the limits of social acceptability.

The thing that I think is the most important is taking moments to express your appreciation to your partner. A thank you or a quick kiss can go a long way toward affirming your relationship and commitment to each other. That's not hard to do even when you're juggling insane careers and three kids.

Wilson adventured for the whole of the human race. Not as a servant, but as a champion. So pure was this motive, so unfrocked with anything that his worst enemies could find, except the mildest and most excusable, a personal vanity, practically the minimum to be human, that in a sense his adventure is that of humanity itself. In Wilson, the whole of mankind breaks camp, sets out from home and wrestles with the universe and its gods.

I don't spend a lot of time online. My mother's really good at picking out if she sees a really great review, and she'll forward it to me. She's like my little Internet filter.
