In a world filled with constant headlines about wars, politics, and everything else that can weigh us down, sometimes we just need a good laugh to brighten our day.

Laughter, after all, is a great reminder that no matter how tough things get, we can still find joy in the little moments.

Here’s a funny story to give you that much-needed smile — sometimes, it’s the simplest things that can catch us off guard and remind us to enjoy life. Check this out:

A woman was in bed with her lover when she heard her husband opening the front door.

‘Hurry,’ she said, ‘stand in the corner.’ She rubbed baby oil all over him, then dusted him with talcum powder. ‘Don’t move until I tell you,’ she said. ‘Pretend you’re a statue.’

What’s this?’ the husband inquired as he entered the room. ‘Oh, it’s a statue,’ she replied.

‘The Smiths bought one and I liked it so I got one for us, too.’
No more was said, not even when they went to bed. Around 2 AM the husband got up, went to the kitchen and returned with a sandwich and a beer.

‘Here, have this’ he gives the sandwich and beer to the statue. Then he said to the statue: ‘I stood like that for two days at the Smiths house and nobody offered me anything!!’

If you enjoyed this story, you should definitely check out this one too, which I came across on another site a while ago.

Me: “Anything else?”
At this point I notice his panicked look. Coupled with the fact that he’s buying the most unappetizing candy in the store, I jump to a conclusion.)

Me: “Sir, these aren’t for you, are they?”
