Where in the world am I today?: Vacationing in Peru
“The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.“
–E.E. Cummings, US poet (1894 – 1962)
Addendum…
“Thankfully when ever I’m short of external sources I’ve always got myself to laugh at and what a ripe source of material that it!”
–David ‘checkerhead’ Aiken
I remember Paddy Bramwells telling me a story years ago about how he had been stabbed while walking around London… It was a pretty scary event and Paddy could have died during the experience, but what struck me most was the fact that even when possibly facing death he found some comedy in the situation… I don’t remember the exact wording, but it went something like this…
“My God I’ve been Stabbed – Well… Ya’ gotta laugh now don’t you”
The image of this has stuck with me for well over twenty years… If he was able to laugh in that situation, I have little or no excuse to not laugh when chaos descends in my own life.
