You're welcome! if something makes you happy or makes you laugh or makes you feel good, for just a moment, you're away from all the problems in the world. Whether they're personal things like having a throbbing toe after bashing it into something, or wars on the other side of the world, for a moment you get complete relief.
I remember going into the repair shop with my old car. I was grumpy. The fellow at the counter was grumpy. They couldn't get me in, and I had to be seen...LOL...
So I said:
"Would it expedite the process if I flashed my boobies?"
:::deer in headlights::: look from the fellow at the counter.
So I added "And I don't know if that's a promise or a threat at my age..."
He busted up. He was jerked out of his misery rut. I was jerked out of my own misery rut. I did get seen. No boobies were shown.
The same way that you'd be jerked out of a rut if something else very unusual or unexpected happened.
Like being in a plane and passing by a man in lawn chair held aloft with balloons:
