For My Children And All The Children I Support Through My Work.

Randy: One night I got a call - a P-300 downtown. There was a bumper sticker on one of the cars, and it said, "Happiness is a choice." I mean, I know it sounds crazy, but it changed my life. I mean, I made a decision right there. I chose to be happy. I mean, I really believe that. I mean, you have the power. You can choose to be happy.

Monk: I guess I should read more bumper stickers.

Randy: [yawning] Everybody should. Okay, it's late. I'm gonna to go sack out.

Monk: Yeah, good night.

Randy: See you in the morning.

Monk: Wait a minute. P-300? Isn't that a fatality?

Randy: Yeah, it was pretty ugly. The driver hit a tractor-trailer head on. He and his wife were both DOA.

Monk: And this was the car that had the bumper sticker, "Happiness is a choice"?

Randy: Yeah, that's right. Well, actually, it was on fire when I got there, so it was hard to read.

Monk: And this didn't deter you or make you think twice?

Randy: [shrugs] It was an epiphany, Monk. You can't just choose where you get it. I mean it could come from a guru on a mountaintop, or it could be from a bumper sticker on a burning Subaru.
