[nfb-talk] to laugh, or not to laugh; that is the question

[Cindy Handel]

Well, it's that kind of thing that I think we have to laugh at, and there's 
nothing wrong with that.  I don't care for the silly "blind" jokes that 
people tell.  But, laughter is part of life.

Oh Cindy, that is just too funny.  I laughed so hard, I had tears
running down my cheeks.  I am going to tell Rick right now.  Thank
you for sharing such a funny story.
