Answer 1

exactly...no...but the story goes like this...(in my own words)"my dad, like many in that day, was a drunk.  And he would go on these stupors.  One particularly bad one, he was yelling, screaming at my mother.  She grabbed a kitchen knife. He didn't like that.  He grabbed the knife and he said...why so serious? Why so serious? WHY SO SERIOUS!! Then he directed his gaze...to me.  I'm smiling.  I'm happy.  You don't look happy son.  Why so serious? Huh? Why so serious?  You should always smile." obviously that was my version of it i don't remember it verbatim but i think that was pretty close.  Hope it helps
