About This Quote
Laughter is a powerful tool that can help us to heal from pain, to cope with tragedy, and to celebrate life. In this quote, comedian Michael Richards jokes about how much damage a simple word can do. No matter what the intent behind it is, the tendency for some people is to take words far too seriously. And while some words likely have a more harmful impact than others, a casual use of a particular word does not cause death. Men often refer to their penises as “their man parts.” Most of the time, there is no harm in that.
