With improv, it's a combination of listening and not trying

Summary

This quote suggests that successful improvisation is not solely dependent on being humorous, but rather on two key factors: actively listening to one's surroundings and fellow performers, and avoiding the conscious effort to always be funny.

In the mountains I celebrate creation, on each journey I am reborn.

So my own suspicion is that the attorney has stopped this prosecution because part of her defence was to question legality and that would have brought his advice into the public domain again and there was something fishy about the way in which he said war was legal.
