  • your wife has been horribly unfaithful
  • you have been suddenly and unjustifiably dumped
  • you have won a humanitarian award
  • you have come into a lot of unexpected money
  • you have a heartwarming conversation with your grateful son
  • or you entertain people with something like Shelley barman’s phone material
