a little levity

Looking for something else, I stumbled on my diary notes from 2003.  They included this joke, which I think bears repeating . . .



This little guy is sitting at the bar just staring at his drink..

He's been sitting there for half an hour when this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, grabs his drink and gulps it down in one swig.

The poor little guy starts crying.

"Come on, man, I was just giving you a hard time," says the truck driver. "I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a man crying."

"This is the worst day of my life," says the little guy between sobs. "I can't do anything right. I overslept and was late to an important meeting, so my boss fired me. When I went to the parking lot, I found my car was stolen and my insurance has run out. I grabbed a cab home but, after the cab left, I discovered I had left my wallet in it. At home, I found my wife in bed with another man. So I came to this bar and was thinking about putting an end to my life, and you show up and drink the damn poison."
