In the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere, two cars both slightly cross over the white line in the center of the road. They collide and a fair amount of damage is done to both cars, although neither driver is hurt.

It's impossible to assess blame for the accident on either party, however. Both drivers get out of their cars. One is a doctor and the other is a lawyer. The lawyer calls the police on his car phone: they will be there in 20 minutes.

It's cold and damp, and both men are shaken-up. The lawyer offers the doctor a drink of brandy from his hip flask. The doctor accepts, drinks and hands it back to the lawyer, who puts it away.

"Aren't you going to have a drink, too?" asks the doctor.

"Oh, maybe AFTER we've talked to the police..." replies the lawyer.

A Time For Reflection... It's important to let your heart get touched.


What 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 LaPrise, 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.
