There is no COVID report from BCM’s Paul Klotman this week. But, Dr. Klotman offer us a brief Week 192 greeting. He’s giving us the bird facts – talking turkey, as it were.
Humor is a safety valve for human stress – not unlike the baring of teeth is a safety valve that primates use to communicate that they are not a threat. We call that mouthful of teeth a smile, and when the great apes do it, it means the same thing to me. When baboons do it, it has the opposite effect on me; it gives me the willies. In any case, I take Dr. Klotman’s greeting as a bit of humor – a moment to not think about illness and the hardships it imposes.
I hope that you too take it that way. 🙂
