You Gotta Laugh

As we started the staff meeting Randy turned off his phone and said, “People keep calling me about a truck for sale.”

“I put a sign on yours, $500 or best offer,” Katy said between fits of laughter. “Must sell today.”

Randy shook his head and laughed too. “I will get you back. Oh, trust me, I will get you back.”

After the meeting, I pulled Randy aside and said, “I got this.”

When Katy was at lunch I filled a specimen cup to the brim with apple juice. I spilled a few drops on her desk and a note reading ‘Where do we store urine samples?’

Later, she yelled for me to “Get this the hell off my desk!” I apologized, wiped her desk with a paper towel, and drank the juice. The look on her face was priceless.

It turned out practical jokes were a way of life at Fawlty Showers. In 2025 we were struggling to get up and running in the middle of yet another opioid epidemic. Knee deep in misery, it was a welcome relief to be surrounded by people with a sense of humor, no matter how juvenile.

Today I’ll be grateful for people with a sense of humor.
