I can't stop laughing!

It sure is nice to laugh loudly and uncontrollably every once in a while.  I've been so disappointed and stressed lately and had a lot of aggravation this afternoon, in particular.  The helpful insurance woman at the pharmacy called me around 3:00 pm, after which I called my doctor's office, insurance, pharmacy again... By 5:06 pm I'd been on the phone or on hold for more than two hours.

Queue local news broadcast, the 5:30 portion and I'm watching behind real time via DVR magic.  Channel 10's Beau Zimmer is reporting on the new extended TSA pat-down protocols and interviewing passengers at Tampa International Airport about their experiences.   He explained that the new protocols provoked mixed responses with the additional qualification that women tended to be more likely than men to find the changes objectionable.

Suddenly I hear a woman identified as passenger Perky Olson lamenting, "until the lady came over with the plastic gloves I had no idea."  And I burst into laughter.
