Time For A Good Laugh!!
Feeling run down? Try laughing more. Some researchers think laughter just might be the best medicine, helping you feel better and putting that spring back in your step.
We change physiologically when we laugh. We stretch muscles throughout our face and body, our pulse and blood pressure go up, and we breathe faster, sending more oxygen to our tissues.
People who believe in the benefits of laughter say it can be like a mild workout — and may offer some of the same advantages as a workout!!
While the results are intriguing, don't be too hasty in ditching that treadmill. One piece of chocolate has about 50 calories; at the rate of 50 calories per hour, losing one pound would require about 12 hours of concentrated laughter!
In the last few decades, researchers have studied laughter's effects on the body and turned up some potentially interesting information on how it affects us:
One thing is for sure: regardless of whether laughter actually improves your health or boosts your energy, it undeniably improves your quality of life!
So right now, scroll down and get yourself a free hour of The Very Best of BBC Comedy, courtesy of...ME! And don't miss a very special deal for Squidoo comedy lovers/Shakespeare fans below on Shakespear's "Twelfth Night"!

SPOTLIGHT on Comedians & A Very Special Deal for Squidoo Visitors
SPECIAL DEAL FOR SQUIDOO COMEDY LOVERS!!Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.
Normal in-store physical product price: $21.80...Normal Price through Leisure Audio: $11.99...Special Offer Price: $8.54!!!
Twelfth Night, nowadays one of Shakespeare's best-loved and most-admired comedies, was not always so regarded: Samuel Pepys saw the play three times in the 1660s and judged it 'silly'. Modem audiences, critics and directors seem better attuned to its delicate counterpointing of romance and realism, to its ambivalent ending and to the poetic suggestiveness of Feste's songs.
* * * * *
And below are some of the most popular audio books available -- comedian biographies! Not the least of which is the work of Mr. Bob Newhart, renowned for his "telephone conversations" stand-up routine, as well as his TV series' Newhart and the The Bob Newhart Show. Also featured are Micheal Palin (of Monty Python fame), Dave Barry, the pre-eminent satiric columnist and Tony Young, author of "How To Lose Friends & Alienate People."
Dave Barry's Money Secrets
Did you ever wish that you really understood money? Well, Dave Barry wishes that he did, too. But that hasn't stopped this award-winning humor columnist from writing a book about it. In this book, Dave explores (as only he can) such topics as:
How the U.S. economy works, including the often-overlooked role of Adam Sandler.
- Why it is not a good idea to use squirrels for money.
- Why corporate executives, simply by walking into their offices, immediately become much stupider.
- An absolutely foolproof system for making money in the stock market, requiring only a little effort (and access to time travel)...
Michael Palin: The Python Years
MICHAEL PALIN's diaries begin in the late 1960s and tell how Monty Python emerged and triumphed. Enjoying an unlikely cult status early on, the group then proceeded to tour in the United States and Canada, appearing, like pop stars, at sold-out stadiums coast to coast and on national chat shows. They even stayed in hotels newly trashed by Led Zeppelin, later investors in Monty Python and the Holy Grail...
Bob Newhart's, I Shouldn't Even Be Doing This!
This isn't a memoir like most memoirs. It's an audiobook only Bob Newhart could have done, with his unique worldview and irrepressibly wry humor. Oh, and there's a fair bit of plain silliness, too.
How To Lose Friends & Alienate People
This is Toby Young's hilarious account of the five years he spent looking for love in all the wrong places and steadily working his way down the New York food chain, from glossy magazine editor to crash-test dummy for interactive sex toys. But it's more than " the longest self-deprecating joke since the complete works of Woody Allen " (Sunday Times); it's also a seditious attack on the culture of celebrity from inside the belly of the beast. And there's even a happy ending as Toby Young marries - "for proper non-cynical reasons," as he puts it - the woman of his dreams.
Here's a chuckle!
