I think it's time for everyone to calm down, take a deep breath, put the XBox controller down, set aside the tv remote, unwind, smile, and realize that the world is doing pretty durn well overall. EGBOK Spread it around. When someone races past you to cut in line at the bank, and you feel your blood pressure start to crawl upward, give yourself an EGBOK. Give one to the gent in front of you with steam coming out his ears. EGBOK When someone blasts past you in the right lane on a crowded road, horns blaring and fists waving, pat the dashboard and give yourself an EGBOK. Give one to the lady on the sidewalk who's freaking out because the nimrod behind the racing wheel almost hit her dog. EGBOK Things going too fast for you at work? Treat yourself to an EGBOK. Heck, while you're at it, give one to your boss and his secretary, especially if it's a Tuesday. Work stress following you home and you're about ready to throttle your 14-year-old for forgetting to take out the trash this morning before going off to the mall? Give him an EGBOK instead. Keep a few in reserve for the times when tense conversation comes up in the future - it's a great way to keep things in perspective. EGBOK They've got zero carbs, zero calories, absolutely no cholesterol-boosting fats. They have nothing in their composition that can cause (or cure) cancer, nor do they cause your hair to fall out. EGBOKs have no counterindications with any OTC or prescription drugs, although they can be a bit addictive. My husband gave me one about 14 years ago, and I cherish it to this day. They have a tremendously long shelf life, but should be taken out and tousled once in a while just to keep the grins going. EGBOK EGBOK = Everything's Gonna Be OK Pass it around - spread a few around today. Heck, buy a couple at the little store to have on hand for special occasions where the words are good but the constant reminder would be better. And if not.. EGBOK anyway.
