THE BEST JOKE I EVER TOLD

By Kate Barron

My friend told me he was going to become a risk

taker. He said he was going to go sky diving,

bungee jumping and ride every roller coaster

he sees. But all those activities have safety

precautions—they’re not risky. I stood on

my IKEA coffee table while changing a

light bulb the other day. That was risky,

because IKEA furniture is basically made

of sawdust and hope.

Kate co-hosts the podcast “A Positive Spin” with

comedian Sara Starkman, where they highlight

positive news stories.
