“Are you available?” 

Walking towards me, she said, “Yes.” 

Quite seriously, I extended my hand and responded to her, “Where would
you like to go?” 

She stopped in her tracks and looked at me and immediately behind me the
customers began laughing and clapping their hands. 

“I gotcha,” I said to the lady who was smiling at me. The crowd
continued to laugh and give me thumbs up as she returned to the back 
part of the office. 

Everybody in the crowd was talking cheerfully and laughing and I knew I
had done my job. 

Tom Foolery and I had made a difference among all those people. Whatever
it takes to get people laughing and forgetting about their problems is 
a good deed. 

As I was going out people clapped and one dear old lady said to me with
the biggest smile on her face, “I'm available too.” It made the crowd 
laugh even louder. 

I do not want to retire my good friend Tom Foolery because there is too
much sadness in the world. People do not know how to laugh anymore and 
they do not know what a real joke is. All this political nonsense and 
hatred going on has just about run its course. 

What we need is a little bit of laughter today and that is where my
friend Tom Foolery and I step in. 

Solomon puts this in a very good perspective. “A merry heart doeth good
like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones” (Proverbs 
17:22). 

There are too many broken spirits in our world today and too few merry
hearts. My commitment is to try to help with the merry heart syndrome 
along with my good friend Tom Foolery.
