"Laughter? Do people ever care about laughter? I mean real laughter, beyond joking, mockery, ridicule. Laughter, an immense and delicious sensual pleasure, wholly sensual pleasure...
"I said to my sister, or she said to me, come over, shall we play laughter? We stretched out side by side on a bed and began. By pretending, of course. Forced laughter. Laughable laughter. Laughter so laughable it made us laugh. Then it came, real laughter, total laughter, taking us into its immense tide. Bursts of repeated, rushing, unleashed laughter, magnificent laughter, sumptuous and mad... And we laugh our laughter to the infinity of laughter... Oh laughter! Laughter of sensual pleasure, sensual pleasure of laughter; to laugh is to live profoundly."

Even my university has to ask what to do with a philosophy major?!
(I think it is important to note that Mr. Boutros’ career is not only supported by a BU philosophy degree, but also master’s degrees from Harvard and Oxford, and a J.D. from the University of Chicago. Moral? If you do enough other impressive things, you can justify majoring in philosophy.)
