Madame I guess it could have been both if you think about it. You could of had the spark of a sense of humor from a hereditary predisposition that was later developed while interacting with your family members. Almost like they gave you the material. I am naturally a blonde as well but I dye my hair different colors. Do you do the same with your comedy ?

Andrew Shaffer Do I dye my comedy? I'll never tell. :)

Madame Aw but I want to know the secrets your incredible humor. At least give me a hint to satisfy the need for the time being!

Andrew Shaffer The secret to humor is to allow yourself to "play." This is what improv teachers tell students. Keep an open mind, and don't be afraid to go anywhere it takes you. You can edit later. Most comedy doesn't work -- it's trial and error. Keep what works, throw out the rest. But to do that, you have to be willing to play...

Madame Thank you for the very sound advice. I will take that in mind for when I write. It's been a pleasure speaking with you. Thank you for allowing me to pick your brain for a moment.
