THE BEST Medicine

LAUGHTER

A man is standing on the curb, ready to cross the street. As he steps down and starts to cross, a car comes screaming around the corner and heads straight at him.

The man picks up speed, but so does the car. The man turns back, but the car changes lanes and keeps coming at him. The man freezes with fear in the middle of the intersection. The car is inches away— then swerves and screeches to a halt.

The driver rolls down the window. Behind the wheel is a squirrel.

“See!” it yells. “Not as easy as it looks, is it?”
