Having a sense of humor.

Why do people take life so seriously!?!  C'mon people!  Get a sense of humor.

There seems to be so much out there that people take as deadly serious that really...ummm...isn't.  Like how about the people that get all riled up when a fellow driver makes a small mistake.  Like it even matters to you that they forgot to signal when they entered *your* lane, that clearly you bought and paid for because you were there first!  LOL  Or how about people that get actually angry because the waitress forgot the ketchup.  Now *there* is a personal insult of the highest degree.

How many times have you seen someone who had an emotionally angry outburst because the tape ran out on the cash register, or a parking spot was taken.  I have seen people get actually angry over a piece of easily removable onion on a burger or a misplaced slice of pickle.  Really, the nerve of some people to put that piece of pickle right *there*  hmmmmmph!  How about people that will lean out of a moving car to offer up a disapproving finger to someone who offended their sensibilities by...well...ummm....I am sure it must have been something terrible.  Something horrible like turning left 2 seconds after the light changed.

We had a mom one time call us to get a drug test for her son whom she suspected.  When the test came up positive she blamed the guy that went to perform the test for her.  It begs the question of sanity doesn't it?

One day I was at a farmers market carrying a bushel of apples in a box and the bottom fell out and apples went EVERYwhere.  This lady actually yelled at me for it!  Because, clearly, I was hoping to irritate her by having my newly paid for apples rolling about in her chosen walking path.

I actually do feel sorry for people that have that much anger and that little joy.  It is so much more fun to laugh and play through life and it is a choice you make.

I choose joy.

So for your reading pleasure and a giggle for today:  A 5 year old child of a friend of mine was asked how you can tell the good people from the bad people.  Her answer?

"The bad people are smoking and showing their hairy armpits to everyone."

And if that doesn't make you laugh you might need to get on Ebay and buy a sense of humor!
