Fields's Griceian Humour

--- by JLS
----- for the GC

---

JOURNALIST: Do you believe in clubs for young men?
FIELDS: Only when kindness fails.

--- cited by Attardo.

I am going to try to retrieve some of the sort-of humorous illustrations in Attardo's work and see how they connect with Grice, as he explicitly (Attardo does) makes the connection.

In this case,

Grice,

'avoid ambiguity'.
