1. In Oklahoma City, just before dawn one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the County Health Department with an unusual request. The air was crisp and quiet, not typical for that part of town. ‘Excuse me,’ said the delivery driver, ‘can you please sign here? It’s for my wife—she says it helps her sleep.’ A sleep aid for a health department? Everyone laughed, including the staff who signed without question. Turns out, the next day a neighbor picked up the wrong package—a bottle of sleeping pills meant for someone else—and had the best night’s rest in months.

Confused but amused, he decided not to report anything unusual. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood had a newfound appreciation for free samples—especially when they saw him prancing down the street, whistling cheerfully.
