With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is
worth reflecting on the death of a very important person which almost went
unnoticed last week.

Larry La Prise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey," died peacefully at age
93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin.
They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.

SHUT UP. You know it's funny.

Yea George, that is funny. We need a laugh every now and then. Thanks.

I saw a funny T-shirt the other day that said:

"What if the Hokey-Pokey really IS what it's all about"

Well, it's certainly not what it's all about, but a card I got yesterday
comes close.

Spent over an hour working on a guy and getting him out of the woods. Even
had him for about seven minutes after the first defibrillation - but lost
him. Provokes a lot of self-examination - tube was good, oxygen, CPR,
hauled as fast as possible, but failed.

His wife sent a card saying "Thank you, you really made a difference."
