Random acts of kindness...

[thejasper]

Recently read about these guys in a dutch newspaper. They call themselves the Happy Company (in dutch) and they have Happy Brigades across the country. They give away coffee, tea and free hugs! They sit around thinking of things they can do to spread a little joy and happines. What is the price for this service? A smile my friend, a smile is all.

http://www.blijbedrijf.nl is their site. It's in dutch, but just knowing these people are out there brings a smile to my face.

update: http://ministryofgoodthings.multiply.com is a similar initiative from Salzburg.

I don't think anyone has yet thought to patent making people happy for no profit, so be quick and start a happy brigade in your area!
