Laughter, the Best Medicine
The best Medicine
Sandy began a job as a school counselor and was eager to help. One day during recess, she noticed a girl standing by herself on one end of a playing field while the rest of the kids enjoyed a game of soccer at the other.
Sandy approached the girl and asked if she was all right.
The girl said she was.
But a little while later, Sandy noticed the girl in the same spot, still by herself.
Approaching again, Sandy offered, “Would you like me to be your friend?”
When I find myself walking through the valley of the shadow of death, I remind myself not to trust Google Maps again.

“OK,” said the girl, looking at Sandy suspiciously. Feeling she was making progress, Sandy then asked, “Why are you standing here all alone?”
“Because,” said the girl with great exasperation, “I’m the goalie!” —Coursehero.com

A plane is heading to Washington, DC, when a politician in economy gets up and takes a seat in first class. The flight attendant sees him do this and asks him
to return to his original seat in economy. But the politician says, “I’m an elected official, I’m important, I’m on my way to DC, and I’m staying here!”
The flight attendant tells the pilot and the copilot about this.
The copilot then goes to ask the politician to return to his original seat. But the politician insists again, “I’m an elected official, I’m important, I’m on my way to DC, and I’m staying here!”
The copilot returns to the cockpit and tells the pilot that the politician just won’t listen.
“I fly the DC route all the time,” the pilot says. “I’ll handle this.”
The pilot walks back to the politician and whispers something in his ear. The politician says, “Oh, I’m sorry,” and then gets up and goes back to his original seat in economy.
The flight attendant and the copilot are amazed and ask the pilot what he said to make him move.
“Easy,” he says.
“I told him that first class isn’t going to DC.”
