Overcoming Heartbreak

As a public service, I thought I'd pass along this bit of practical guidance.

Q: Have you ever had your heart broken . . . ?

A: Yeah, I have . . . .

Q: How did you get over it?

A: Hmmm . . . You're completely in love with him, aren't you?

Q: What?!

A: In my case, it was easy.  I burned his pictures, sobbed really loudly, ate ten pieces of cake . . . then I felt totally better.

Of course, in fairness, you ought to know that this approach does not end up working for the person receiving the advice.
