Don’t Laugh

When I was attending college, I enrolled in a physiology class. One day during a lecture the professor asked me to sit up on the high table at the front of the room so he could demonstrate the principal of reflexes. He took a little mallet, similar to the one a medical doctor would use, and proceeded to tap me on the knee, expecting my left to jerk noticeably in a typical reflex action. However, I held my leg very rigid and flipped my arm in the air when he tapped my knee. The class roared with delight. The professor was not amused. – Boyd K. Packer

Laughter is sunshine; it chases winter from the human face. – Victor Hugo

Laughter is the closest distance between two people. – Victor Borge Miserable people don’t laugh. It might break their concentration! They have important world issues to worry about. Happy people giggle, guffaw, chortle, snicker and even snort. (Snorters cover their mouths in surprise and embarrassment, and then laugh even harder.) If laughter is the best medicine, these people have free refills at the funny pharmacy. Have you ever laughed so hard that your stomach was sore the next day? There’s an exercise program idea in there somewhere: “Laugh Your Way to Washboard Abs.” Laughing and smiling are related, and laughing is just smiling out loud. Miserable people think life is too serious to laugh about, while happy people know that life’s so serious they have to laugh to survive.
