a smile

Mary, an unhappy rich woman, sits impatiently on a bus stop bench.
MIKE, a homeless man, sits down next to her with a big smile on
his face.

Mary: What are you smiling for?
Mike: It's what I do.
Mary: I won't ask.
Mike: I sell smiles for a living.
Mary: I'm not interested.
Mike: Here, have a free one - on me.  (He smiles at her.)
Mary: No thank you.
Mike: Sorry, can't take it back. You'll have to give it to someone
       else.
Mary: What?
Mike: The smile. You'll have to give it away if you don't want it.
       Or sell it if you like - apparently it hasn't been used much.
Mary: What do you mean by that?
Mike: You don't smile very often, do you?
Mary: So what if I don't?
Mike: Shouldn't waste your smile...there's plenty of people who
       could use one.
Mary: Well they can have mine.
Mike: Your what?
Mary: My smile.
Mike: I don't see one.
Mary: I thought you just gave me one.
Mike: I tried, but it didn't stick. I think it bounced right off.
Mary: Fine. What's there to smile about anyway?
Mike: Well...
Mary: You don't have to answer that.
Mike: There's lots of things to smile about. It's a beautiful day
       outside; the busses are running on time...
Mary: I don't want to hear about it.
Mike: ...and look at that flower over there, now that would make
       anybody smile.
Mary: Would you leave me alone!

(a long moment of silence. Finally, she gives in.)

Mary: So what's the going rate on smiles these days?
Mike: Pardon me?
Mary: Your smiles...how much are they?
Mike: Oh, they're very expensive.
Mary: So's my taste.
Mike: You probably couldn't afford one.
Mary: Try me.
Mike: I'm warning...it'll cost you.
Mary: Yes, I know, HOW MUCH?
Mike: One smile.
Mary: One smile?
Mike: That's how much they cost.
Mary: What?
Mike: The price for a smile is exactly one smile. That's the going
       rate.

(She thinks about it)

Mary: Alright. (smiles) I'll take one.
Mike: It was a pleasure doing business with you.

(he leaves)

(Daisy, a streetwalker, sits down next to her.)

DAISY: What's with the smile?
Mary: I sell smiles for a living.

This Story is to remind you to always smile and be cheerful!  It
makes people happy!  So, remind your friends to keep a smile on
their faces!  And...Keep on smiling!

Take Care
