Our mother called humor “medicine for the soul”. 

My brother, Terry, easily the funniest McCarthy, is currently in hospice and I overheard this exchange while the nurses were working on him the other day:

*Terry: My ankle hurts.*

*Nurse: Which one?*

*Terry: All of them.*

*Nurse: How many ankles do you have, Terry?*

*Terry:  Seven.*

*Laughter, loud and long, including Terry.*
