I hear it is the best medicine

My friend and colleague called me recently to tell me she wouldn't be coming to work due to a little accident at home.

Friend: I'm totally fine. Everything is fine. But I had a little accident.
Me: What happened?
Friend: I fell out of the attic.

This is where I laughed. A lot. For several seconds.

Friend: You know, when I told the boss she was very concerned and gasped and said I was lucky and it could be worse.
Me: You told me you were okay.
Friend: So far nobody has laughed.
Me: Those people aren't your real friends.

My friend proceeded to tell me she fell out of the attic while vacuuming the dust up before she loaded it full of her stuff. She went to the hospital and aside from a few bruises and some wounded pride, she's fine.

Friend: I'm going to have to sit on a cushion or something because I have a big bruise on my butt.
Me: That's just going to make me laugh again.
