Absolutely loved the post . Reminded me of a uni safety workshop where the presenter had us in stitches mimicking movie blunders. Then, he switched to real campus incidents, hitting home the message without losing our attention. His quip about no "stunt doubles" made safety a running joke. It's true, humor's sneaky power can transform the mundane into memorable. Kudos for highlighting how serious subjects can seriously benefit from a good laugh! 8/30/2023 10:17:44 pm
