If you like this website, it’s dedicated to my dad who taught me how to laugh until you cry;
my mother, whose four favorite words to say to me as I grew up were, “Michael, you’re not funny!”;
Jennifer, who tells me pretty much every day, “You’re so ridiculous;”
and Tess and Owen for suffering through years of embarrassment at my hands while growing up because it was central to my parenting philosophy.
