"Humor is A Good Buffer"

On Sept. 9th of 1909, U.S. President Taft sent a greeting to the American Humorists' Association in Buffalo, New York. It went as follows:

"Please convey to the American Press Humorists in the convention in Buffalo my warmest regards. Tell them for me that they can be engaged in no better vocation than making people laugh. Humor is like the buffer between two heavy railroad cars. It relieves the jolts of life. It is a shock absorber. It makes the journey through the years easier, and brightens the pathway all along the route. We Americans could not get along without humor."

Let laughter and joy fill your life always,
Donna
