We had an entertaining day at our local Arby's restaurant this afternoon. As a couple of young guys were leaving they each rang the "Ring if your service was satisfactory" bell but as the second guy went to ring the bell it came detached! The young man immediately started scrambling around to fix the bell, but the piece that needed to screw onto the top of the bell rolled away and fell into the trash! The guy began to blush and called his friend back into the store. They dug threw the garbage, found the piece and put the bell back together again! Beat red and laughing at himself the young man promptly left in a mix of shame and amusement.
It's good to be able to laugh at ourselves in our trivial humiliation. It's even better when we take responsibility for the things that just happen to fall apart the moment we touch them. It would not have been amusing if the boys had left the bell in pieces, it would have shown them to be selfish and inconsiderate.
