Laugh a little
Not too bad
It's shabbes morning and Aaron has just arrived at his shul. As he gets to his seat, there, next to him, is his friend Monty. "Shabbat Shalom," says Aaron. "And Shabbat Shalom to you too," replies Monty, wincing in pain.
"What's the matter?" asks Aaron.
"My feet are absolutely killing me," replies Monty, "because my shoes are too small."
"Meshugganah," says Aaron, "so why are you wearing shoes that are too small for you?"
"I'll tell you why," replies Monty. "I'm having the worst time of my life, that's why. In the last few weeks, my wife Rachel has regularly been having bad migraine attacks and I can't get near her even to cuddle her; my beautiful daughter Talia has left home to live with a goy; my son Nathan has decided that he doesn't want to continue to study for his degree and is now wasting his time doing absolutely gornisht; and to cap it all, my company has made me redundant, leaving me with no money to pay my bills. But Aaron, when I take these shoes off, life all of a sudden becomes so very much better."
