While watching the terrifying news of Japan, on CNN, Anderson Cooper 360, I was almost in tears watching the devastation. Just before commercial, they were talking about some Americans living in Japan, and of loved ones back home who are worried, and wanting know of their safety. That they had found a teacher by the name of Paul, and were going to reunite him with his parents in the US via voice communication.
So Anderson comes back on and introduces us to Paul, the young teacher in Japan, and they talk with he and his parents. Chatting back and fourth. They go to commercial. Then after commercial break, Anderson basically says that his parents Peter and Mary are on the line, and reunited with Paul again.

I burst out laughing, saying to myself, "What? Peter, Paul, and Mary had reunited again?" LOL
(the folk singing group of the 60's that is). It hit me in a funny way. Then I thought... did his parents name him Paul, because of the folk group? Peter Paul and Mary are coming for dinner tonight! Oy!

Sometimes laughter can be the best medicine, under stress. Even if it seems to be at the wrong time.
