Let's see if I can illustrate, if only with a collateral symbolic reference, these 10 true stories.
1. THE PASSING DOCTOR
"Virginia is for lovers", and the PORTABLE DEFIBRILLATOR is for restarting a heart. And a life.
2. THE PASSPORT OFFICIAL
A migratory bird flies across country borders without any passport stamp/visa...but humans may need one. Desperately. Bureaucracy vs. Open-mindedness.
3. THE MYSTERY DRIVER
Some say "we are what we drive". Others might say "we are what good deeds we can do (including while driving)". Such as quickly jumping into a car out-of-control. Then it doesn't matter "what you drive". It could be a beat-up truck, for example.
4. THE BUS PASSENGER
Maybe "the show must go on", but a bus must not, if a life is endangered and an ambulance is needed.
A bus can take you somewhere, or can have you taken somewhere.
5. THE SILENT WITNESS
You can have a fancy [motor]bike, but when you ran out of "petrol", even a 1 gallon gift can be a lifesaver.
6. THE ISLAND ANGELS
In Canada, as in any other country, some beings jump to attack you (like a hungry cougar - I mean puma or mountain lion...). Other beings jump to help you, and possibly save you from trouble.
Don't jump to conclusions until you see WHY you're being jumped.
7. THE GOOD NEIGHBOURS
It's good when you can afford to pay for your food.
It's also good to get a little help until you are able again to pay for your food.
Starving is avoidable, in many cases.
8. THE POLICE OFFICER
Some people become great winners, great champions, like Muhammad Ali. He never was an alcoholic or a smoker, said Lonnie Ali, his wife. His sports regimen and his religion did not welcome alcohol.
But even ordinary people can be winners at something, when they get good advice and gather enough self-will to conquer a potentially deadly addiction, such as alcoholism.
I could have used here, for this BBC story, the American stamp "Alcoholism: You can beat it!", but I don't have it. :)
9. THE SELFLESS STUDENTS
You don't necessarily need a sports car to be happy. Sometimes, a simple taxi at the right time is all the transportation you need to have a good time with friends and be happy.
10. THE THIRD MOTORIST
Pigs are not the only animals who produce a lot of manure.
Sheep do it, too.
"Pigs" have also their own "manure".
The question is with whose "manure" should we put up, and for how long, if you get my drift. :)

Happy PFF (Postcard Friendship Friday)!
