Well, Snap!
Working in a large city hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, was full of surprises. We never knew who or what might come through the door next or what might make us laugh amid serious business.
I worked in labor and delivery, and we handled all births, including c-sections. On one particular occasion, Linda and I were in the operating room preparing for an emergency c-section. We were moving at lightning speed; Linda was setting up the instruments, and I was bringing the patient in on the stretcher and caring for her. Linda was rushing around as fast as she could when…
…her snap front top got caught on the handle of the portable oxygen machine. And voila, the snaps pulled apart right before the super handsome anesthesiologist! Linda was quite buxom, and there she was on display for all to see.
We started laughing and couldn’t stop. I’m sure part of it was a release of anxiety about the pending surgery, but laugh we did! The patient joined in laughing, and we all had a grand time. Linda was mortified but couldn’t stop laughing, or preparing the room for the surgery.
It’s fun to have funny things happen in serious situations. Take time to laugh every day! It’s such good medicine.
At the recent workshop I attended, they had a Yoga Laughter session for us to join. Now, that was hilarious. Watching all these strangers laugh and laugh and laugh. Since then, I’ve been practicing laughter by myself and with others. Fake it til you make it. Try it! You’ll be surprised how easy it is to train ourselves to laugh on demand.

Fencing is no laughing matter unless two inexperienced people try to install a fence. That can get hilarious fast. If you want to install it yourself, you must have at least one strong person to help with the heavy, tightly wound roll. Then it’s a snap! Otherwise, you might find yourself rolling on the ground in laughter.
