Hey, everyone! Feeling stressed out? Overworked? Depressed?
"Well, our friends at *Dole Juice* have just released a brochure *full*
of helpful ideas to 'Lighten Up Your Day'..."

up tough situations. Remembering the funny incidents that make you
laugh -- and retelling them to others -- help re-focus energy out of
the stress!"

never *occurred* to me!"
[square male # 2, addressing the square # 1:] "Hey, didja hear the one
about the rabbi, the priest, and the *talking duck*!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

to obey Penny's sensible guidelines; no more air-guitar solos.
