Have you seen Jogger John’s missing bike?

There’s nothing better than turning your bad news into something amusing, clever, and memorable for others.

This, in many ways, is the essence of a lot of great storytelling.

“Bad for you, good for the story” is a phrase I say to storytellers a lot.

I don’t know if Jogger John of Woodstock, New York, ever found his bike, but he brought a smile to my day, and he’s continued to pop into my mind from time to time since the day I first saw this sign weeks ago.

Well played, Jogger John, whoever you are.
