Optimism

"First Aid"

"How come you're late?" asked the bartender,
as the blonde waitress walked into the bar.

"It was awful," she explained. "I was walking
down Elm street and there was a terrible
accident. A man was thrown from his car
and he was lying in the middle of the street.
His leg was broken, his skull was fractured,
and there was blood everywhere. Thank G~d
I took that first-aid course."

"What did you do?" asked the bartender.

"I sat down and put my head between my
knees to keep from fainting!"

"Optimism"

I was in my cardiologist's waiting room
when a well-dressed man approached
the counter and said he was from a
local funeral home.

He had stopped by to pick up a death
certificate. The receptionist found the
document and handed it to the man.

He turned to leave, facing a waiting room
filled with heart patients. Before walking
out the door, he waved cheerfully and
then called out, "See ya!"
