The one main drawback to being disabled is that I'm disconnected from the rest of the world. Sure, I watch the news like everyone else, but I miss the personal interaction and face-to-face meetings that make our society wonderful. My only source of interaction comes from emails and web advertisements. After wading through all the junk, I usually end up with one or two tidbits to explore. I've found some interesting websites and some good humor, which I will share in my blog.
I love the irony behind good news/bad news jokes. It is a sad commentary on life that every silver lining has a dark shadow attached to it. But that is what makes life so real.
**************************************
Two lifelong friends named Mike and Joe were big baseball fans. They played on the same Little League team as kids, through school and then some minor league play, sometimes on opposing teams. But their friendship thrived and their love of baseball continued throughout their adult lives into retirement. They talked about baseball every day of the year. They even made a pact that whoever died first would try to come back and tell the other if there was baseball in heaven.
One summer night, Mike passed away in his sleep after watching the Yankee victory earlier in the evening. He died happy. A few nights later, his buddy Joe awoke to the sound of Mike's voice from beyond. "Mike, is that you?" Joe asked.
"Of course it's me," Mike's voice replied.
"This is unbelievable!" Joe exclaimed. "So tell me, is there baseball in heaven?"
"Well, I have some good news and some bad news for you. Which do you want to hear first?"
"Tell me the good news first."
"Well, the good news is that yes, there is baseball in heaven, Joe. We play every day and every night, we don't get tired, and there are no injuries," Mike's voice replied.
"Oh, that is wonderful! So what could possibly be the bad news?"
"You're scheduled to pitch tomorrow night."

Yes, I know that it's morbid humor, but I laughed so hard when I read ths one. And now I'm sharing it with you.
