HUMOR MAKES A SERIOUS DIFFERENCE In a restroom at IBM's Watson Center, a supervisor had placed a sign directly above the sink. It had a single word on it: "THINK!" The next day, when he went to the restroom, he looked at the sign and right below, immediately above the soap dispenser, someone had carefully lettered another sign that which read: "THOAP!" Humor can make a serious difference. In the workplace ... at home ... in all areas of life. A sense of humor helps us to cope with the difficult times, enjoy the good times and manage even the scariest times. Case in point: Six-year-old Hannah. She was diagnosed with cancer, lost all her hair during chemotherapy and sometimes wore a wig. One day while shopping with her mother, Hannah donned a ball cap with a fake pony tail sewn into the back. Before long, Hannah noticed a small boy staring at her. She tried to ignore him, but he followed her. Finally, she ripped off her cap revealing her shiny, hairless head and said emphatically, "This is what happens when you don't eat your vegetables." I don't know what became of the boy, but as for Hannah, her sense of humor helped get her through some of life's scariest times. And it no doubt aids her healing process, too. Like entertainer Bob Hope once said, "I've seen what a good laugh can do. It can transform tears into hope." And sometimes, a little more hope is all we need. __________
P.S. NEVER-ENDING ANSWER Question: If you could live forever, would you and why? Answer: I would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever. -- Contestant in the 1994 Miss USA contest, sent in by John Haien (Denver, Colorado, USA)
