John Lahr writing in his biography of Joe Orton, Prick Up Your Ears, quotes a letter written by Orton's lover, Kenneth Halliwell, that was somewhat facetious in tone, whilst being disingenuously signed, 'Yours humbly'.Lahr says (and I think it's a great quote):
Humility in laughter is as unwelcome as modesty in a prostitute.
