hahaha!

It's been said that laughter is the best medicine. I find that it's both contagious and healthy. After reading a bit on the subject, I found that there are 3 parts of the brain that are activated when having a good laugh. First, there is room for a cognitive area for understanding the joke. Then there is a physical reaction that initiates movement or muscle function. Finally, there is an emotional connection that results in the "giddy" feeling. It's apparent that people search for comedy in an unconscious effort to heal themselves with one of the world's most ancient remedies. Some people may look up comedy on the Internet, or when they shop at the movie store and want to check out a funny movie. I've decided that I'm going to pay a bit more attention to the types of comedy and the frequency of its use. It's intriguing, the fact that everyone has their own view on comedy, and their own preferences when trying to extract a few giggles. Now there's something to investigate!

  2. I completely agree John. A few weeks ago I was offered free tickets for being on the mailing list for a local comedy club. What a great night we had! All for $2 times 2 tickets for service charge. And my perspective on rainbows will never be the same...
