Fun Friday, Laugh, You'll Be Healthier If You Do

Laugh...I mean really laugh. All the medical experts agree that our bodies get a great jolt of life when we laugh. So, I am setting myself up to intentionally laugh often. Remember, you have landed on Thrive Christians; we're into really living!!!

Bill, Jim, and Scott were at a convention together and were sharing a large suite on the top of a 75 story sky scraper.

After a long day of meetings they were shocked to hear that the elevators in their hotel were broken and they would have to climb 75 flights of stairs to get to their room.

Bill said to Jim and Scott, "Let's break the monotony of this unpleasant task by concentrating on something interesting. I'll tell jokes for 25 flights, and Jim can sing songs for 25 flights, and Scott can tell sad stories the rest of the way."

At the 26th floor Bill stopped telling jokes and Jim began to sing. At the 51st floor Jim stopped singing.

Then Scott began to tell sad stories. "I will tell my saddest story first," he said. "I left the room key in the car!"

This is supposed to be a true story from a Georgia trooper. A law enforcement friend said it probably is:

A highway partrolman pulled over a man for speeding slightly over the speed limit. On checking the violater's driver's license he noticed a Juggling Event flyer in the seat showing the driver as the star of the show.

The Trooper told the driver he was fascinated by juggling, and if the driver would do a little juggling for him that he wouldn't give him a ticket. The driver told the Trooper that he had sent all of his equipment on ahead and didn't have anything to juggle.

Checking his patrol car trunk, the trooper pulled out some flares and asked if he could juggle them. With a nod, the juggler lit the three flares and began to hurl them in the air.

While the man was doing his juggling act, a car pulled in behind the patrol car. A drunk good old boy got out and watched the performance briefly. Then he walked over to the patrol car, opened the rear door and got in.

The Trooper was baffled. He ran over to the patrol car. He opened the door and asked the drunk what he thought he was doing.

The drunk replied, "You might as well take me to jail; 'cause there ain't no way I can pass that sobriety test."
