Merc was the one everybody thought was faking a brain tumor and then suddenly announcing he was getting married, if I remember correctly.
On the lighter side, here's a short little joke to cheer everyone up.
A six-year-old walks into the kitchen where his Mom is cooking and says,
"Mom, the last few nights I woke up to this thumping noise coming out of
your bedroom and when I look to see what it is, you're sitting on top of
Dad and bouncing up and down. Why are you doing that?"
The startled mother tries to recover quickly and says, "Your Dad is a
little overweight and I'm trying to get him back to normal size. I
bounce on him to get all the air out of him."
The kid shakes his head and says, "You're wasting your time. When you go
to work, the lady next door comes over and blows him right back up
again."
