George Burns said you don't stop laughing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop laughing. People who are able to do that successfully are much healthier than people who are not able to do it.




LAUGHTER IS GOOD FOR YA' - ON MANY LEVELS




Laughter relaxes the whole body. A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.

Laughter boosts the immune system. Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving your resistance to disease.

Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.

Laughter protects the heart. Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.

"A sense of humor let's me see things from a point of view other than the most obvious..."



"It is bad to suppress laughter;
it goes back down and spreads
to your hips."

 (how to eliminate bills)




Here's one you probably already heard..

A sweet grandmother telephoned St. Joseph's Hospital.

 She timidly asks, "Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how
 a patient is doing?"

 The operator says "I'll be glad to help, dear. What's the name and
room number of the patient?"

 The grandmother in her weak, tremulous voice says, "Norma Findlay,
 Room 302."
 
 The operator replies, "Let me put you on hold while I check with the
nurse's station for that room."

 After a few minutes, the operator returns to the phone and said,
"I have good news-  Her nurse just told me that Norma is doing well. Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came back normal, and her physician, Dr.
Smith, has scheduled her to be discharged tomorrow."

The grandmother says, "Thank you. That's wonderful. I was so worried.
 God bless you for the good news."

The operator replies,"You're more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?"
 
The grandmother says,"No, I'm Norma Findlay in Room 302. No one tells
 me ANYTHING."
