Laughter is the Best Medicine

Indeed, laughter is the best medicine. There is new evidence that laughter is good for the heart and brain. Did you know that you use at least 15 different facial muscles when you laugh. Did you know the average person laughs about 17 times a day. Laughter, my friends, is key to having a long and happy life. I hope this lens contributes to that in some small way.

Featuring: Abbott and Costello, Carol Burnett, Conan O'Brien, George Burns, Goldie Hawn, Groucho Marx, Harvey Korman, Hope and Crosby, Jack Benny, Laurel and Hardy, Lucille Ball, Mel Brooks, Peter Sellers, Steve Martin, Tim Conway and Vivian Vance.

The Definition of Laughter

by Lou Balderas

Laughter can be defined as an audio or visual stimulus to the brain which results in the expelling of noise and gases through a persons pie hole. It should be noted that other orifices and body functions may be involved if something is extremely funny.
