Try to keep perspective

Amazing how people take their time to complain about some light humor. Why don’t they expend their energy to write about something important that might make a difference like … childhood hunger or the poor?

If you don’t like the humor, skip it. Don’t speak for me, because we are all different and some of us need a chuckle.

Please keep “The Buzz.”
