We Need to Laugh
Can you imagine a world without laughter? I can't. We need to laugh at ourselves and with others. It lowers blood pressure and reduces stress (and if you don't have any stress in your life, you don't have a boss like mine.)
Just kidding, but when I need to wind down and relax, I turn to classic humor. While watching an episode of Laurel and Hardy or The Three Stooges, for a brief period of time I can forget about deadlines, papers, and snippety bosses. Laughter rolls in and joy abounds.

I watch classic slapstick.
KaraLynnRussell says:
I usually go to books rather than movies when I need a laugh - Terry Pratchett, Dave Berry and Erma Bombeck are always great. I also love romance author Allie Pleiter. I've read her My So Called Love Life - a romance between a cartoon voice actor and a network exec - at least three times.
I prefer the animated antics of Woody Woodpecker.

I usually get with friends and we can usually come up with something to laugh about

"Laughter is a mechanism everyone has; laughter is part of universal human vocabulary. There are thousands of languages, hundreds of thousands of dialects, but everyone speaks laughter in pretty much the same way." --Robert R. Provine, Ph.D.

- There is nothing like a good laugh. A friend told me one time when my son was small to make sure he saw me laugh everyday. Welcome to the South Carolina Group.

- We have Night at the Opera by the Marx Brothers. This sort of humor is my very favorite. Dry slapstick is the very best.
