Fear of Flying

Bernie was a 56 year old ad executive pulling down $400000 a year. He had a mansion, a beautiful wife and three high achieving kids.
As a boy he had never mastered the monkey bars and felt anxiety walking past a playground. He remembered getting halfway up, panicking and retreating. One day he decided this simply will not do.
On his way to work that morning, he entered a playground and removed his tie and jacket. He headed straight for the damn monkey bars. He closed his eyes and visualized climbing to the top.
As he slowly ascended, sweat pouring down his body, he glanced over to the swings, where, to his astonishment, he saw Jack from HR soaring high and yelling YES I CAN!
Emily, head secretary, was defeating the slide, whooping loudly. Carl, Executive VP of marketing, flrollicked in the sandbox, while Maury from security begged for someone to join him on the see saw.
Bernie realized there were lots of issues being worked out on that playground. Lots of issues.
