Friday Humor - Sorrow or Celebration
I've been derelict in my duties with respect to Fridays lately, so try this small one:
My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken woman swigging her drink, as she sat alone at a nearby table.
My wife asks, "Do you know her?"
"Yes," I sighed. "She's my old girlfriend. I understand she started drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since."
"My God!" says my wife. "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?"
So you see, there really are two ways to look at everything.

And for the bonus round:
A photographer for CNN was assigned to cover southern California's
Wildfires. He wanted pictures of the heroic work the firefighters were
doing as they battled the blazes.
When the photographer arrived on the scene, he realized that the smoke
was so thick it would seriously impede, or even make impossible, his
getting good photographs from the ground level. He requested permission
from his boss to rent a plane and take photos from the air.
His request was approved and he used his cell phone to call the local
County airport to charter a flight. He was told a single engine plane
would be waiting for him at the airport.
Arriving at the airfield, he spotted a plane warming up outside a
hanger. He jumped in with his bag, slammed the door shut, and shouted,
"Let's go".
The pilot taxied out, swung the plane into the wind and roared down the
runway. Once in the air, the photographer instructed the pilot, "Fly
over the valley and make two or three low passes so I can take some
pictures of the fires on the hillsides."
"Why?" asked the pilot.
"Because I'm a photographer for CNN," he responded. "And I need to get
some close-up shots."
The pilot was strangely silent for a moment, finally he stammered, "So,
what you're telling me, is...you're NOT my flight instructor?"...
