How to React to a Friend's Good News
When we were comedians, the real Ric used to be described, in his introduction, as “a psychotic ball of stress.” Now he works in a job where he is appreciated for his level head and steady hand on the tiller.
Not well appreciated, but at least somewhat appreciated.
His company gives the employees little mementos and awards to commemorate various milestones working for the company. I think it was the ten-year mark when Ric came into his office to find a small cardboard box on his chair. He opened it to find a nice metal keychain of the company logo in a presentation box, and a folded piece of paper. It turned out to be instructions for his supervisor for how to present the gift to Ric, including the specific directive: “Tell the employee how important they are, to you and to the team.”
And in a way, they did exactly that.

How to Be Patient
At my old office job, there was a honcho from corporate who would come in every now and then to settle someone’s hash. I found it easy to remember his last name because it rhymed with plow. All I had to do was sing the Mr. Plow jingle from the Simpsons using his name instead of plow, and I was golden.
I told that to my immediate supervisor. We shared a small laugh, then she got deadly serious and said, “Yeah, stop doing that.”

How to Explain What the Deal Is with "The Avengers"
To be fair, two years before Super Friends launched, DC did address somewhat grittier subject matter.

My favorite thing about that cover is that Green Lantern is being such a jerk about it. I’m amazed he didn’t use his ring to make a giant green hand pointing at Speedy with the words “Dope Fiend.”
Also, you’d think Speedy would have been on amphetamines. Just saying.

How to Plan a Group Vacation
In a group vacation, it doesn’t matter how many members of the party are planners, how much thought they’ve all put into the plan, or how enthusiastically everyone agrees to the plan. It only takes one member of the group to be a play-it-by-ear type to completely derail the plan and force everyone else to play it by ear with them.
Want to see this in action? Go to the Target store near the main entrance to Walt Disney World some morning at about the time the parks open. You will see multiple clusters of frustrated looking people with one member of their group saying that they’re “just popping in” for sunscreen, ponchos, and “while I’m here, I’ll take a quick look at the sweatshirts.”
