LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE

The most valuable ingredient of a successful life is laughter. It could cure 95% of the daily crisis and challenges. It does a great deal more for us than we give it credit. It introduces new ideas, new people in a gentle way, but with exquisite penetrance. It exposes our human natures. It places our human flaws on the table where they can be addressed. It breaks the tension when things are getting too hot and livens the mood when emotions are too cold. Laughter is the physiological response to humor. Humor reflects intelligence and quickness.
"Laughter occurs when people are comfortable with one another, when they feel open and free. And the more laughter [there is], the more bonding [occurs] within the group," Humor arises when logic and familiarity are replaced by things that don't normally go together. "The act of producing humor, of making a joke, gives us a mental break and increases our objectivity in the face of overwhelming stress," As we mature, both our physical bodies and mental outlooks grow and change.
Laughter can be therapeutic;
Studies have indicated that the ability to see life from the lighter side may be medicinal. Humor can alleviate allergy symptoms, increase pain tolerance, bolster disease fighting immune system, reduce risk of stroke and heart attack and may even help in controlling blood sugar in diabetics.
Laughter also gives your diaphragm and abdominal, respiratory, facial, leg and back muscles a workout. That's why you often feel exhausted after a long bout of laughter -- you've just had an aerobic workout! Sabd Guru on laughter;

ਨਾਨਕ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਭੇਟਿਐ ਪੂਰੀ ਹੋਵੈ ਜੁਗਤਿ ॥ਹਸੰਦਿਆ ਖੇਲੰਦਿਆ ਪੈਨੰਦਿਆ ਖਾਵੰਦਿਆ ਵਿਚੇ ਹੋਵੈ ਮੁਕਤਿ ॥
Nānak saṯgur bẖeti▫ai pūrī hovai jugaṯ. Hasanḏi▫ā kẖelanḏi▫ā painanḏi▫ā kẖāvanḏi▫ā vicẖe hovai mukaṯ.

O Nanak, meeting the True Guru, one comes to know the Perfect Way. In a life of smiling, playfulness, enjoyment of wear and food, liberation is obtained,

Re: Laughter Is The Best Medicine

Me being a linguistic teacher and all..my jokes are always on language..here goes..

logo1.gif
Let’s face it - English is a crazy language.
In what other language do people drive in a parkway and park in a driveway?
Why does night fall but never break and day break but never fall?
Why is it that when we transport something by car, it’s called a shipment, but when we transport something by ship, it’s called cargo?
Why are people who ride motorcycles called bikers and people who ride bikes called cyclists?
In what other language do they call the third hand on the clock the second hand?
Why is it called a TV set when you get only one?

Bill Gates organized an enormous session to recruit a new Chairman for Microsoft Europe. 5000 candidates assembled in a large room. One candidate is Jignesh Doshi an Indian (Gujrati) guy.

Bill Gates thanked all the candidates for coming and asking those who do not know JAVA program to leave. 2 000 people leave the room. Jiggi says to himself, 'I do not know JAVA but I have nothing to lose if I stay. I'll give it a try'

Bill Gates asked the candidates who never had experience of managing more than 100 people to leave. 2000 people leave the room.

Jiggi says to himself ' I never managed anybody by myself but I have nothing to lose if I stay. What can happen to me?' So he stays.

Then Bill Gates asked candidates who do not have management diplomas to leave. 500 people leave the room.

Jiggi says to himself, 'I left school at 15 but what have I got to lose?' So he stays in the room.

Lastly, Bill Gates asked the candidates who do not speak Serbo - Croat to leave. 498 people leave the room.

Jiggi says to himself, ' I do not speak one word of Serbo - Croat but what do I have to lose?'

So he stays and finds himself with one other candidate. Everyone else has gone.

Bill Gates joined them and said 'Apparently you are the only two candidates who speak Serbo - Croat, so I'd now like to hear you have a conversation together in that language.'

Calmly, Jignesh turns to the other candidate and says `kem chhho?'..

The other candidate answers 'ek dam majama'! :happy:

A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They sit down and engage in an animated conversation.
The lady sitting behind them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of the men say the following:

"Emma come first.
Den I come.
Den two asses come together.
I come once-a-more.
Two asses, they come together again.
I come again and pee twice.
Then I come one lasta time."
"You foul-mouthed swine, " retorted the lady indignantly. "In this country we don't talk about our sex lives in public!"

"Hey, coola down lady," said the man.
"Who talkin' abouta sexa? I'm a justa tellin' my frienda how to spella Mississippi."

India and Pakistan recently realized that, if they continued political tension, they would some day end up destroying each other. So they sat down and decided to settle the whole dispute with a dog fight.

The negotiators agreed that each country would take five years to develop the best fighting dog they could. The dog that won the fight would earn its country the right to rule Kashmir . The losing side would have to lay down its arms..

The Pakistanis found the biggest, meanest Dobermans and Rottweilers in the world. They bred them together and then crossed their offspring with the meanest Siberian wolves.
They selected only the biggest, strongest puppy from each litter, killed all the other puppies and fed the lone dog all of the milk.

They used steroids and trainers in their quest for the perfect killing machine, until, after the five years were up, they had a dog that needed iron prison bars on his cage. Only the trainers could handle this beast.

When the day of the big fight arrived, the Indians showed up with a strange animal: It was a nine-foot-long Dachshund.

Everyone felt sorry for the Indians. No one else thought this weird animal stood a chance against the growling beast in the Pakistani camp. The bookies predicted that Pakistan would win in less than a minute.

The cages were opened. The dachshund waddled toward the centre of the ring. The Pakistani dog leapt from his cage and charged the giant wiener-dog.

As he got to within an inch of the Indian dog, the dachshund opened its jaws and swallowed the Pakistani beast in one bite.There was nothing left but a small bit of fur from the killer dog's tail.

The Pakistanis approached the Indians, shaking their heads in disbelief. "We do not understand. Our top scientists and breeders worked for five years with the meanest, biggest Dobermans and Rottweilers.

They developed a killing machine." "Really?" the Indians replied. "We had our top plastic surgeons working for five years to make an alligator look like a dachshund".
