Stress 7.16.23

Stress.  It’s something we all experience.   Someone once gave me a humorous book called, “Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Stress” and I thought I’d share a bit of it with you today.   For instance, the four most stressful things to hear at a beauty shop:   1.  Hope you like hats.  2.  Well, it’s an original.  3.  Don’t you agree that society overemphasizes appearance? 4) My lawyer says I’m not supposed to say anything.

Here are some stressful things you might hear from your realtor while buying a house:  1.  “You look like a handy guy.”  2.  And then there’s the indoor pool, if you count the basement.    Once you buy the house your stress might increase when you realize:  1.  I’m responsible for anything that goes wrong.  2.  I’ll be in debt for 30 years.  3.  Oh no!  I’m a grown-up now.

The stress brought on by dieting can often be relieved by strenuous physical exertion.  Recommended activities include:  1.  Gnawing on a rubber brownie.  2.  Throwing grapefruits at a perky size 5 aerobics instructor.  3.  Putting on blue jeans right out of the dryer.    And finally, stress by the regions of the U.S.:   Rocky Mountains:  Locking your keys in your Land Rover.   California:  Locking your keys in your convertible.  Midwest:  Locking your keys in your pickup truck.   Florida:  Locking your keys in your RV.

Hope the smiles today have relieved some of your serious trust.   Have a great week!
