The sooner we get to it; the sooner we’ll get through it.

The sooner we get to it; the sooner we’ll get through it. — A faux positive statement to lighten a heinous situation that will stick with you for the rest of your life.
1) Police homicide photographer documenting the scene of a mass shooting at an American high school:

Well let’s go: The sooner we get to it; the sooner we’ll get through it.

2) Family cleaning out a closet after the death of a loved one:

Well let’s go: The sooner we get to it; the sooner we’ll get through it.

3) An American citizen voting for president in the 2024 election that will determine the destiny of our democracy:

Well let’s go: The sooner we get to it; the sooner we’ll get through it.

This and other techniques like this are taught in cults and at Harvard University. No, I’m not kidding Harvard has a Hap-y-ness Studies Program. It’s designed to control populations and foment political overthrow. They’d “like to teach the world to sing — in perfect harmony.”

Straight-through Jones

A rare and fortunate occurrence during busy hours found in car parks. The straight-through Jones is when two (vacant) parking positions line up end to end, allowing the lucky finder to drive straight through from one to other other negating the need to reverse in or out of said parking space.
Person 1: I will never find a parking spot at this rate!
Person 2: Oh look Dad, there's a straight-through Jones!
