A Sense of Humour

Happiness gurus around the world say that having a sense of humour helps… an awful lot. Seeing the funny side of things breaks all sorts of tensions and angst and sends your happiness barometer up, up and up.

I know that my sense of humour is tickled by really silly things and clever things. In fact, the sillier the thing is, the more I laugh......

I have to share this with you because firstly, I think it is really very funny (clever and silly) and secondly, hats off to this IT Company in PMB for having an incredible sense of fun (and great PR person) and doing a really funny follow through to a story that might have just died a quick death.

Do you remember the IT company who raced the pigeon Winston to prove that "pigeon mail" was faster than the Telkom ADSL speed? Well, I found this little gem in the Sunday Times this morning:

“Winging IT: Winston the famous homing pigeon has been given his own mascot. He recently earned celebrity status after successfully flying 40gb of data over a distance of 80km in about 2 hours, beating Telkom’s ADSL speed. Durban IT professional Mark Smith, who dons a pigeon outfit resembling Winston, has been making appearances at a number of public events. Agiza Hlongwane”
