Election day...win.. lose... laugh

"Always laugh when you can, it's cheap medicine." Lord Byron

Laughter seemingly makes us feel good. Well, most of us. So, I Googled "the importance of laughter."

Google relates "Laughter is a good thing. Scientists tell us laughter, humor and joy are an important part of life. Laughing lowers blood pressure, reduces stress hormones, and increases muscle flexion. It increases the circulation of antibodies in the blood stream and makes us more resistant to infection." (And I always thought when a hor moned she WAS reducing stress.) Sorry, kinda.

Some. Do. Not. Get. It. - but that's ok, many of them live into their 90's, so mebbe the joke is on us - but, we'll never know if they're happy - as laughter and happiness are normally associated together.

"And keep a sense of humor. It doesn’t mean you have to tell jokes. If you can’t think of anything else, when you’re my age, take off your clothes and walk in front of a mirror. I guarantee you’ll get a laugh." — Art Linkletter (or, as we kids used to call him, Fart Stinkletter.)

Anudder site (not to be confused with the mirror sight just above) adds 'Laughter Keeps Things in Perspective', we take ourselves too seriously.... and 'Laughter Helps Us Stay Positive', realizing things aren't always as bad as they seem. BUT, even when things ARE as bad as we think they are, laughter helps create positive emotions and helps us find a frame of mind in which we can more easily cope with the struggles of life. (S'more)...

After my mom died, a few days later I had mebbe the best laugh of my life. HUH? Yeah, my sister and I. We were in her motor home for at least two hours, just she/me. We cried, hugged, reflected. Two kids, remembering their mom in that very first time when you knew you could never talk to her again on earth... After awhile, Vanda (my sister) excused herself to the back of the motor home to use the restroom. After she entered the door, I hear this CLICK. She locked the damn door. When she finally came out I looked at her laughingly, but incrediously, "Vanda, you locked the door! Did you really think I was going to barge in?" Biased, but my sister had the best pre-laugh noisy smirk EVER.. (You'd have to know our family I guess, a funny looking lot.. My dad, 5 inches shorter than my beautiful mom, my beautiful sister, 6 inches taller than my dad, and me, the strange looking redhead/frecklefaced one. Laughter was a major glue to our family.

"Having sex at age 90 is like playing pool with a rope." George Burns

Oh, and that website added one more. "Laughter is Loving." - If I am able to laugh with you in my mistakes as well as with you in yours, it suggests we are all flawed and imperfect. Embracing good natured humor, we find the humility to see the foolishness of trying to be perfect and the gift of enjoying the smiles and laughter of love.

Jesus loves me (and laughs), this I know, 'cause the Bible tells me so:
God has a smile on His face. — Psalm 42:5
He that is of a merry heart has a continual feast. — Proverbs 15:15
I commend mirth. — Ecclesiastes 8:15

Why aren't koalas actual bears? They don't meet the koalafications.
What do you call Bears with no ears? B
What do Alexander the Great and Winnie the Pooh have in common? Same middle name.

"The best way to cheer yourself is to try to cheer someone else up." Mark Twain

Danger, danger, warning, warning: Laughter can cause one's eyes to water.. Ones pee pee to leak a tad.. One's face to turn red.. Cause one to stop and collect their breath.. and, cause one to lead a happy, fun, life.

What did the left eye say to the right eye? Between you and me, something smells.

"Wit is the key, I think, to anybody’s heart, because who doesn’t like to laugh?" — Julia Roberts (That really wasn't that funny or prophetic, I just think she's gorgeous, so added.)

Ifn's you simply get bored, find a moment in life that just ain't fun, try these!:

Go to Petsmart and buy bird seed. Then ask the clerk how long it will take the birds to grow.
Make "No Dumping - Violators Will Be Prosecuted" signs and put them in public bathroom stalls.
Tell your dad in a public place- "Look, old man, I don't want your candy!"
Go into a public bathroom and start singing "Taking Care of Business" very loudly.
Try pants on backwards at the Gap. Ask the salesperson if they make your butt look big.

Election day...win.. lose... laugh.....
