So we think cheerfulness and laughter make for usefulness. Outsiders are sometimes shocked when we burst into merriment over a seemingly tragic experience out of the past. But why shouldn't we laugh? We have recovered, and have been given the power to help others.*
A friend asks his friend for a cigarette. His friend says, "I think you made a New Year resolution to quit smoking." The man says, "I am in the process of quitting. Right now, I am in the middle of phase one." "What's phase one?" asked his friend. "I've quit buying."
Woman who called 911 to have cigarettes delivered was arrested for 911 abuse.
According to Associated Press, a Texas woman wanted to make sheriff's deputies the butt of a joke, but she picked the wrong audience when she called 911 to have cigarettes delivered to her home. A Hood County sheriff's deputy said the woman was "very intoxicated" when she requested the special delivery on Feb. 11. Two deputies responded to her call, but arrested her for a misdemeanor count of abuse of 911. She was later released from jail on a $1,000 bond. The woman thought it would be amusing to call 911 to place her order. She may want to visit either Joker's or Nicotine Anonymous.
