Perspective

A man had lost one of his arms in an accident. One day he  felt terribly depressed and decided to  commit suicide.

 He got into an elevator and went to the top  of a building to jump off.   He was standing on the ledge looking down and saw this man skipping along, whistling and kicking up his heels.  He looked closer  and saw this man didn’t have any arms at all.
 
He started thinking, what am I doing up here feeling sorry for myself. I still have one good arm to do things with. There goes a man with no arms skipping down the sidewalk happy and going on with his life.   He hurried down to the street and caught up to the man with no arms.

 He told him how  glad he was to see him because he had lost one of his arms and felt ugly and useless and was going to kill himself. He thanked him  again  for saving his life and he knew he could make it with one arm if that guy could go on with no arms.

The man with no arms began dancing and kicking up his heels again.

The one armed man asked, ‘why are you so happy anyway?’

He said, ‘I’m NOT happy …. my ass itches.
