Humor
Mushnick intermittently injects levity into his otherwise serious writing. Occasionally he publishes from reader submissions the photographs of a celebrity and an athlete who look alike (e.g. actor Martin Mull and Cleveland Browns president Mike Holmgren). In one of his columns, Mushnick related to his readers a piece of advice from actor Jerry Orbach: "Never be photographed with an alcoholic beverage in your hand."

Famous quotes containing the word humor:
“To be perfectly, brutally honest, those of us who are still carrying diaper everywhere we go are not at our most scintillating time of life....We need to remember that at one time in our lives, we all had senses of humor and knew things that were going on in the world. And if we just keep our social networks open, there will be people ready to listen when we once again have intelligent things to say.”
—Louise Lague (20th century)
“There is also this benefit in brag, that the speaker is unconsciously expressing his own ideal. Humor him by all means, draw it all out, and hold him to it.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Was ever woman in this humor wooed?
Was ever woman in this humor won?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
