That’s bad. No, that’s good.

There is an old Hee Haw skit that Archie Campbell and Roy Clark used to do that has come to mind recently.

Roy: How’re you doin’, Arch?

Archie: Not too good. I stubbed my toe yesterday while walkin’ on the beach.

Roy: That’s bad.

Archie: No, that’s good.

Roy: How’s that?

Archie: I stubbed it on this old metal treasure chest filled full of money.

Roy: That’s good.

Archie: No, that’s bad. It was a metal security box that someone stole from the bank. When I opened it an ink bomb went off. I got red dye all over me.

Roy: That’s bad.

Archie: No, that’s good. When I took it into the police station they took one look at me and knew I wasn’t the robber. I didn’t fit the description. There was a $1000 reward!

Roy: That’s good.

Archie: No, that’s bad. Just as I was walking out of the police station a gust of wind came up and blew my reward away.

Roy: That’s bad.

Archie: No, that’s good. A gorgeous creature happened to step out of the building after me and I was consoled for my loss by a kiss.

Roy: That’s good.

Archie: No, that’s bad. Turned out to have a huge professional wrestle as a spouse who was jealous. He stepped out of the building right as she was kissing me and he hollered out that he’d kill me and began running at me.

Roy: That’s bad.

Archie: No, that’s good. He tripped over the rug in his haste and I got away. Made me kind of look at things in perspective. I may have bad luck but I’ve still got my health.


There in a nutshell is my life, folks. I think I could write a book.
