Try laughing. It's fun!

I was suppose to give a little speech today to a group of seniors. It was early in the day and I think we were all a little afraid of how long I might go and how boring I might be. Trust me when I say, I have been with me for 56 years and I know how long and boring I can be. So my audience had every right to be fretful. I decided to tell a joke to get things started. It was wonderful! No, not the joke, that was awful but everybody had a joke they wanted to share and did! I never had to work so little to fill up my speaking time. We spent 20 fast and fun minutes. Somebody once said that you always "leave them laughing". Well, this time I left laughing and now I have a dozen more jokes to add to my repertoire. Ken Schulz
