Nothing beats a hardy laugh at the misfortune of others, especially on Easter.

Okay, I’ll concede not the time for a joke.

I do wish these folks well.

Wow. To people who responded to this obvious joke I have to wonder if extreme crabbiness is a symptom of COVID-19.

LOL! I know right! I thought it was fairly obvious what I meant. I guess I should’ve included a sarc tag! :)
