"It seems laughter is still the best medicine," say Nobel Prize nominees Drs. Gael and Patrick Flanagan. The Flanagans point to researchers at California's Loma Linda University who tested blood samples from people subjected to an hour of video-and-comedian-induced laughing.
When compared to a control group, the laughers showed increased levels of good hormones (endorphins and neurotransmitters) and decreased levels of stress hormones (cortisol and adrenaline), conditions which, according to the researchers, strengthen the body's immune system.
I love to laugh and there is nothing more appealing to me than a man with a sense of humour...

Just what the doctor ordered!
I laugh a lot as well. I laugh at people I work with, because each of them has a particular individuality that is amusing.
Funny thing, these people I work with are funnier than professional comedians.
What I don't find funny are stale/old jokes that sound crumby when repeated again.
Some people have a gift of making others laugh, and they don't even need to say anything.
THESE are the people who should be in show business.
We have all the wrong comedians today (except for a handful, like Robin Williams or Jim Carey).
Thanks...Good Question. Keep laughing. It's healthy!

Laughing, don’t laugh I go out on the search for a suitable vocation, at the end of the day I return home, might read a book or look at some papers might screw the cork of the bottle of the white man fire water medicine for the white madness (no offence) have a laugh then tune into a horror, then fall asleep, repetitively for the too many years, what point would there be for me to laugh less, that would be like punishing myself for a world of madness and chaos. It’s like your own natural bodies anti depressant, why would I not when I need to,

yepa good laugh will never go astry here.
when you laugh your body releces indorphans (your body's own happy pill) your heart rate increaces it's like having a mini workout and people usually feel pretty good about themselvs after going to the gym.
and have you ever noticed that when you laugh (a real genuine laugh) you can't feel pain weather it's a broken leg or a broken heart, but for those few minutes your spirit is free
