Oo, oo, can I have both?

[quantheory]

Certain friends of mine have discovered that I will laugh on command for them, in a very genuine way. The quote of the day on my google homepage is:

"Those who can laugh without cause have either found the true meaning of happiness or have gone stark raving mad."

I am less convinced by the hour that you can have the first without at least mildly encroaching upon the second.
