Click here to read the first 75 lines of the story “Are you available?” Walking towards me, she said, “Yes.” Quite seriously, I extended my hand and responded to her, “Where would you like to go?” She stopped in her tracks and looked at me and immediately behind me the customers began laughing and clapping their hands. “I gotcha,” I said to the lady who was smiling at me. The crowd continued to laugh and give me thumbs up as she returned to the back part of the office. Everybody in the crowd was talking cheerfully and laughing and I knew I had done my job. Tom Foolery and I had made a difference among all those people. Whatever it takes to get people laughing and forgetting about their problems is a good deed. As I was going out people clapped and one dear old lady said to me with the biggest smile on her face, “I'm available too.” It made the crowd laugh even louder. I do not want to retire my good friend Tom Foolery because there is too much sadness in the world. People do not know how to laugh anymore and they do not know what a real joke is. All this political nonsense and hatred going on has just about run its course. What we need is a little bit of laughter today and that is where my friend Tom Foolery and I step in. Solomon puts this in a very good perspective. “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones” (Proverbs 17:22). There are too many broken spirits in our world today and too few merry hearts. My commitment is to try to help with the merry heart syndrome along with my good friend Tom Foolery. Tweet
