While recovering from an illness, Elder Carlos E. Asay was sent a number of get-well wishes. One of them was from a Primary child, who had drawn a picture of Elder Asay stretched out on a coffin. Protruding from his chest was a single rose. The caption read:
'Please get well, but if not, have fun!'

Elder Asay says that made him laugh out loud, so hard that his nurses came rushing into his hospital room, wondering what was wrong. And if it didn't make you at least smile, you'd better check your humor quotient.
