  • Even if it's not, it tastes better than that stuff in the bottle.
    • Boola Boo
      Wise words!
  • It sure can help in many instances.
  • Yes. But there is a saying that, when you laugh too much, you cry later?
    • Linda Joy
      Crying can be cathartic as well, if needed.
    • Zara Zoey
      Yeah, I believe, only if your heart does not hurt.
  • No, penicillin usually works better. Laughing about your infection doesn't make it go away.

      Not if its a viral infection or a broken bone. I don't think laughing about cancer will cure it, either. But it might reduce your stress, improving your chance of recovery.
    • Archie Bunker

  • *** The Power of Laughter “Scientists have calculated that only half a minute of joyful laughter is worth 45 minutes of static rest,” reports the Polish weekly Przyjaciółka. “A spontaneous burst of laughter is comparable to three minutes of aerobic exercise, whereas ten warm smiles equal ten minutes of intensive rowing.” Other benefits of laughing include a threefold increase in the amount of air drawn into the lungs as well as improved circulation, digestion, metabolism, brain function, and elimination of harmful substances. The magazine suggests that to help put yourself in the right mood, you should smile at yourself, your mate, and your children first thing in the morning. “Learn to laugh at yourself,” it adds. “Try to find the good side of things even in difficult circumstances.”
  • On hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Katie went straight to her grandparent's house to visit her 95 year old grandmother and comfort her. When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, "He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning." Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that 2 people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble. "Oh no, my dear, " replied granny. "Many years ago, realizing our advanced age, we figured out the best time to do it was when the church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding and out on the Dong." She paused, wiped away a tear and then continued, "And if that damned ice cream truck hadn't come along, he'd still be alive today!"
  • Yes it is along with a dashing man in a suit,
  • No. Which is why we send sick people to hospitals, not comedy clubs.
