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:
“When humor can be made to alternate with melancholy, one has a success, but when the same things are funny and melancholic at the same time, it’s just wonderful.”
—François Truffaut (1932–1984)
“All my humor is based upon destruction and despair. If the whole world were tranquil, without disease and violence, I’d be standing on the breadline right in back of J. Edgar Hoover.”
—Lenny Bruce (1925–1966)
“Humor is not a mood but a way of looking at the world. So if it is correct to say that humor was stamped out in Nazi Germany, that does not mean that people were not in good spirits, or anything of that sort, but something much deeper and more important.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
