The Things We Do For a Laugh

This week, I got an unexpected package in the mail. The contents made me laugh out loud. Let me set it up for you…

I woke up one morning after having a ridiculous dream. In the dream, I was meeting my old radio buddy, Johnny Molson. I do not know the reason for our meeting. In the dream, he hands me this tricycle. The thing is literally beat to hell. It is rusted and the front wheel is bent. I am speechless and have no idea what to say. Before I can say anything, John says:

“The guy at the antique shop says it could have, and probably belonged to Dean Martin! See the whiskey stains on the seat?!”

I wake up and chuckle from this dream and I message him to tell him about it. He responds:

I responded that if I ever got ahold of Jerry Lewis’, I would do the same.

That had to be two or three weeks ago. I had all but forgotten about this until I got home from work one night. The package was sitting on the kitchen counter. When I opened it, I saw a picture frame. As I pulled it out of the box, I began to laugh out loud. The picture?

That wasn’t all. There was a note:

It was a much needed laugh. Even as I look at the pictures in this blog, I’m laughing. It is so important to have friends who will go the extra mile and put extra effort into getting a laugh. John and I have been friends for over 30 years and I’ve always appreciated his quick wit.

Thanks Johnny! I plan on hanging it with pride!!
