For anyone suffering from conflict today, I thought I would provide you with some guidance. Taken from one of my favorite scenes of The Office, the following dialogue gives you some ideas if you are struggling with how to confront someone.
Darryl: Well see, um, in a gang world, we use something called fluffy fingers.
Michael: What is that?
Darryl: That’s when someone really gets in your face, you know you just, start ticklin’ ‘em.
Michael: Really?
Darryl: Yeah. And he starts tickling you. And pretty soon you laughing and hugging. Before you know it, you’ve forgotten the whole thing. Y’all just go to church together, and get an ice cream cone.
Michael: I would have never though that.. gangs would be tickling each other.
Darryl: Oh. It’s effective.
Give someone the fluffy fingers today!
