Monday Laughs…

It’s Monday, and we all could use a good laugh. Enjoy this bit of humor…

This morning, on my way to work, I wasn’t paying as much attention as I should have been… and I rear-ended another vehicle. I groaned, dug around in the dash for my insurance, and stepped out of the car to examine the damage.

As I stood there standing along the road, watching steam roll from my punctured radiator, the other driver got out of his car.

You know how the most stressful of real-life situations sometimes simply become funny? Like when you can’t help but laugh at a funeral or the like?

Of course you do.

Well, the other driver got out of his car, and I couldn’t believe it… he was a DWARF, only about 3 feet tall! The laughs started coming (it was the last thing in the world I expected), but I did my best to suppress them in spite of my mind’s imaginative wanderings (how did he reach the pedals, how could he see over the dash, etc.).

I tried… I really did. Dwarfism simply isn’t something to laugh about.

But after he stormed over to me, looked up at me, pointed a finger in my face, and loudly proclaimed, “I am NOT happy!”… I totally lost it.

The other driver exploded. “What. What’s so funny, you moron?”

Fighting back the tears, and struggling to get my laughter under control, I looked down at him and said, “If you’re not Happy, then which one are you?”

And THAT’S when the fight started.

UPDATE: This would have made a GREAT April Fool’s joke!

This story has been taken by several people to be real (including one of my closest friends), so I guess I need to add a disclaimer. It’s NOT REAL… just a humorous first-person fictional writing based on a joke I saw yesterday. Any similarity to events, real or imagined, is purely coincidental.
