We've all heard the old saying, "Laughter is the best medicine," and it is indeed a valid statement. Laughter is contagious, and spreads joy in a healthy way.

Laughing to Improve Your Health

People love to laugh and usually feel much better when they do. Laughing is truly physiologically therapeutic. It helps the blood to flow, allows the body to relax, and releases endorphins, all of which may decrease a person's level of pain.

Laughing can help you to cope during stressful situations. It may also bring a balance to your immune system, thereby helping you to fight off sickness and disease. Studies have also shown that laughter, and a good sense of humor, may help to prevent heart disease and heart attacks.

A man was telling his neighbor, "I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it's state of the art. It's perfect.

"Really," answered the neighbor. "What kind is it?"

"Twelve thirty."

Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical. A few days later the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young lady on his arm. A couple of days later the doctor spoke to Morris and said, "You're really doing great, aren't you?"

Morris replied, "Just doing what you said, Doc: "Get a hot mamma and be cheerful."

The doctor said, "I didn't say that. I said, "You got a heart murmur. Be careful."

An elderly gent was invited to his old friends' home for dinner one evening. He was impressed by the way his buddy preceded every request to his with endearing terms-Honey, My Love, Darling, Sweetheart, Pumpkin, etc. The couple had been married almost 70 years, and clearly they were still very  much in love. While the wife was in the kitchen, the man leaned over and said to his host, "I think it's wonderful that, after all these years, you still call your wife those loving pet names."

The old many hung his head. "I have to tell you the truth," he said, "I forgot her name about 10 years ago."

Three old pilots are walking on the ramp. First one says, "Windy, isn't it?"

Second one say, "No, it's Thursday!"

Third one say, "So am I. Lets go have a drink."

Driving to the office this morning on the Interstate, I looked over to my left and there was a woman in a brand new Mustang doing 65 miles per hour with her face up next to her rear view mirror putting on her eyeliner. I looked away for a couple seconds and
 when I looked back she was halfway over in my lane, still working on that makeup. 

The Senility Prayer

God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I like, and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Now that I'm older (but refuse to grow up) here's what I've discovered:

1. I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

2. My wild oats have turned into prunes and all-bran.

3. I finally got my head together-now my body is falling apart.

4. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.

5. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.

6. It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser.

7. The only time the world beat a path to your door is when you're in the bathroom.

8. If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would have put them on my knees.

9. It's not hard to meet expenses. They're everywhere.

10. These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter.

11. I go somewhere to get something and then wonder what I'm hereafter.
