Julian Assange, the lead WikiLeaks perpetrator, has ruined my career.I write light, humorous pieces for a living — offbeat perspectives that offer a respite from everyday woes.Humor, says Webster’s, is “that quality which appeals to a sense of the ludicrous or absurdly incongruous.” It is “designed to be comical or amusing.”There is no harder writing than humor writing.The humor writer toils for hours to achieve the perfect turn of phrase, the precise exaggeration, the unexpected twist.He starts by describing something relatable, such as the story of a pig on a farm — a pig with a wooden leg.He coaxes the tale along. He explains that this is no ordinary pig — it saved its owner’s family from a fire that consumed their house by kicking down its front door.When the reader expects the tale to conclude one way, the humor writer goes in an entirely different direction.
