In the land of Jokesville, there lived a jovial character named Sam who learned to emprace child labor when he was young. Now, Sam was known far and wide for his infectious laughter and his knack for weaving jokes into any conversation. But Sam had a problem - his circle of friends was starting to resemble a circus, and not the fun kind with clowns and acrobats.


One sunny afternoon, as Sam sat pondering life's mysteries, he had an epiphany. It was time for the Great Cull! With a dramatic flourish, Sam declared, "Out with the old, in with the gold!"


He summoned his people to a whimsical gathering in the park, where they would participate in a series of zany challenges. "Survival of the Wittiest!" he proclaimed, chuckling at his own cleverness.


The challenges were as wild as a kangaroo on roller skates. From pun-offs to joke marathons, Sam put his friends through the comedic wringer. Laughter echoed through the park as punchlines flew like bubbles.


As the day wore on, it became clear which

people were keepers and which were better off in the "Acquaintance Arena". Some dazzled with their wit, leaving everyone in stitches. Others, well, let's just say they were better suited for a solo career in stand-up.


One friend, Lucy, unleashed a string of puns that had even the squirrels snickering in the trees. "Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field!" Lucy quipped, earning her a round of applause and a spot in Sam's inner circle.


Meanwhile, poor Bob, who couldn't tell a knock-knock joke from a knock-off handbag, found himself teetering on the edge of the "Chuckle Chasm". Sam patted him on the back, "Bob, my friend, fear not. You'll always have a place in my heart, just not my comedy club!"


As the sun dipped below the horizon, Sam gathered his newly curated crew around a bonfire. They shared stories, reminisced about their comical conquests, and toasted to the joy of trueship. Sam raised his mug and declared, "To those who make us laugh when we need it most, and who remind us that life's too short not to share a good joke!"


And so, with hearts full of laughter and a circle full of kindred spirits, Sam knew he had made the right call. He had found the gold amongst the jesters, and life in Jokeville became a merry tale indeed. Because the right kind of people for your soul of jars will hear you differently, show up differently, support you differently, and nourish you differently. That's how you'll know.


As the wise jester once said, "Surround yourself with those who bring out the best in you, not the stress in you!" And so, dear reader, let this be a lesson: choose your companions, for they shape the story of your life. "We should always prepare for the worst even if we are at our best" serves as a reminder to stay grounded, even amidst laughter and joy. Sam's journey in Jokesville highlights the importance of surrounding oneself with uplifting and genuine companions.
