Laughter is particular to men.Jorge de Burgos:As is sin. Christ never laughed.William of Baskerville:Can we be so sure?Jorge de Burgos:There is nothing in the Scriptures to say that he did.William of Baskerville:And there's nothing in the Scriptures to say that he did not. Why, even the saints have been known to employ comedy, to ridicule the enemies of the Faith. For example, when the pagans plunged St. Maurice into the boiling water, he complained that his bath was too cold. The Sultan put his hand in... scalded himself
