Exhausted! – Humor Unplugged

Wisdom - the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your Captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1467 of our Trek, and time for a 3-minute mini-trek called Humor Unplugged. Our Thursday podcast will provide a short and clean funny story to help you lighten up and live a rich and satisfying life. Something to cheer you and give a bit a levity in your life. We are told in Proverbs 15:30 A cheerful look brings joy to the heart; good news makes for good health. We are also encouraged in Proverbs 17:22 A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength. Consider this your vitamin supplement of cheer for today. So let’s jump right in with today’s funny which is titled:

Exhausted!

Frank, a CPA, was well known throughout the city for his detailed accounting and auditing skills. He had won several awards and accommodations for his stellar work.  Knowing that he had a full workload for the upcoming week, we went to bed extra early on Sunday. As it turned out, he did not sleep well that night. He finally got out of bed at 6:00 am, got a shower and dressed, and headed down to the kitchen. His wife Jane was busily cooking a nutritious breakfast for him when he sleepily shuffled in and plopped down at the kitchen table. Jane looked at him with a lovingly look and said, “Frank, you look exhausted, but I know you went to bed extra early last night. What is the problem?” Frank looked at Jane through half-opened eyes and complained, “I don’t think I slept a wink last night.”

Jane looked at Frank curiously and replied, "Why didn't you count sheep?"

Frank replied, “I did, and that's what got me into trouble. I made a mistake the first hour, and it took until morning to correct it.”I hope that brought a smile to your face today. If it did pass your smile onto some else, we all could use a kind smile each day. Our Thursday thought is, “My Morning Routine includes 10 minutes of sitting on my bed thinking about how tired I am.”

Here is our verse for today:

Ecclesiastes 5:12

People who work hard sleep well, whether they eat little or much. But the rich seldom get a good night’s sleep.
