Finding Humor in Difficult Situations
Recently, I wrote a post about a man who traveled over 130 miles in his wheelchair to propose to his girl, only to be unexpectedly rejected. On the way home, he hit a rut and tipped over into a corn field. aaarghh! How do we find humor in something as upsettiing as that?

Priceless! Excellent reminder that we’re all human and we all feel the same way when rejection strikes. Spend a couple of minutes watching it. It will open your heart and remind you to smile warmly today! Plus you'll find more info on the man's story there too.
What are your thoughts on finding humor in difficult situations?

Hey! Here I am!
Reminds me of an old Yankee Zen Koan I was exposed to years ago in Maine:
"If a chicken-and-a-half can lay an-egg-and-half in a-day-and-a-half, how many flapjacks will it take to shingle a doghouse?"
Peace,
Bob
Maine is the only place on the planet where you would find a chicken and a half laying eggs and a half. I'll have mine with toast please. hahaha!

Here's another gem from my down-east experiences - relevant to nothing right now but you might enjoy it. I had a philosophy professor, Prof. Tredwell, who told us of Epstein's Inequality: "The number of horses asses in the world at any given time is ALWAYS greater than the number of horses." (I think Epstein was a colleague of Murphy who may have been studying reports of unverified SNAFU phenomena at the Institute for Advanced Sardonic Studies.)
Speaking of higher learning, I always tease my friends who graduated from Un. of FL. I think, for the sake of funnier sweatshirts, they should change it to Florida University.
