    I found a couple of years ago that on the worst days there was always one thing that made them better, my dirty little secret... And here it is: :) take 1 terrible rotten horrible Yucky day and say today would be a good day for... and add in what would make you life better ... say a million dollars.. then quickly visualize yourself with a million dollars.. if this is not enough then move on.. repeat the sentence in your head or out loud (if nobody who is around would care to hear you thinking out loud as a crazy person) "Today would be a great day for a million dollars and...." then add one. repeat this process until you can't go any farther.. you will find that your desires are so far fetched that it will cheer you up.. try it. and your welcome.:cool: if that doesn't work I take a page from the book of cartman... say "Big Floppy Donkey D..." that one always makes me smile... I just like they way it rolls off my tongue.. Wow that sounds wrong when I see it in type... But.. if nothing else that should make you smile... short story time... I was in going into the bathroom in high school once I came upon a scene of 2 classmates one using the urinal A and one washing his hands B. before I make it to the urinal A starts laughing I stutter in my tracks and B says "Ya know it probably isn't a good sign that your holding your D... and laughing." At which point he Starts Laughing more... B leaves , A leaves Laughing... I to this day am curious as to the nature of just what went down in the bathroom that day... Now the next time your in the bathroom at a urinal don't laugh. ;P

        Zeno would be proud. Except for the "Big Floppy" quote, that I enjoyed.

        CCC solved so far: 2 (including a Hard One!)

          Technically Cartman never said that :)

          Scientist: "Ok, now I want you to say 'Big Floppy Donkey D...'" Cartman: "No!" Scientist: "Success! The child doesn't want to swear!" Cartman: This isn't fair, god-da*BZZZT*, you *BZZZT* *BZZZT*

          So, technically, John Cleese said it, since I think he was the one voicing the scientist :)
