I am sure everyone has or have laughed at something or someone when misfortune happens. That’s called bad laughter and sometimes terrible things are funny, but not always.
Now, here’s the truth. How many of you have use bad laughter? I know I have. Anyway, there was a situation which occurred in my life in the past. This was based on a job I applied for at a local Wickes Furniture in Chicago, Illinois. For it was next to the Target I used to work at more than two years ago. I was unemployed during that time for exactly two years. To be honest, that was hard, and it felt like I was in hell (on Earth though). So, when I went to the Wickes furniture located in Chicago on Elston and Logan to apply for a job as a Sales Representative. The store manager wasn’t there. Darn it all. I felt offended. At that time, that particular Wickes Furniture was new and the receptionist had the nerve to tell me they were not hiring. Now, does that make any sense?
Truthfully, I began to think the store needs employees, at which that time, they had none. So then, when I walked out of the Wickes Furniture (and this is true) I spoke a curse upon that store. And in about six months to a year later. That Wickes Furniture went out of business. In other words, they started with no employees and finished with no employees. When I saw this I laughed like this: “Ha-ha” with a bit of chuckling behind it. I literally thought that was funny. But that depends on how you would take it. Anyway, I used to work at Walgreens and I had a customer ask me to use the store restroom. First of all, for some particular reason the Walgreens I worked at did not allow public restrooms. Consequently, the customer really had to boo-boo really badly; but I could not let himgo because of the manager’s rule. That rule which said: “NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS!” in big bold letters. Nevertheless, I laughed because the customer’s reply was: “What am I supposed to do; pee on myself or something?” Then I said: “I don’t know; you tell me.” Then he walked away with an angry face despised at what I said. And hey, I don’t blame the man at all; but that was Walgreens policy.
Just recently, one of my best-friends from another fellowship church told me she holds a Bible seminary class at her church. She mentioned that twenty-eight out of thirty students failed a Bible-related test. Before she told me this; she told her husband. When she told him, then he busted out with laughter. Further, that laughter was so hard he cried, and as she told the story to me; then I laughed vehemently. So she said to me: “That’s not funny!” Then I stopped laughed no more.
