Okay... I heard another one today, so I thought I would share.

Law of the Garbage Truck

The other day, I took a taxi to the airport. on the way, a car suddenly
pulled out in front of us. My driver slammed on his brakes and missed the
other car by just inches. although he was at fault, The driver of the other
car stuck his head out his window and angrily cursed us.

My driver just smiled and waved. So I asked, "Why were you friendly to
that jerk? He almost wrecked your car and sent us to the hospital!" This is
when my driver told me about, "The Law of the Garbage Truck."

He explained, "many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of
garbage. By that I mean they are full of frustration, anger, resentment,
and disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump
it. and sometimes they'll dump it on you. I try not to take it personally.
I Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage
and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.
