Is laughter truly the best medicine?
What evokes laughter as a response?
Did you ever meet someone who never laughed about anything?
I like to laugh. I have kind of a loud laugh. I'm a low talker, but a loud laugher. I'm an easy laugher. I like to have fun and be silly and find things humorous, so I laugh a lot.
My brother is the clown - always telling really old corny jokes to get a laugh.

I laugh because something is funny. Laughter is good for your blood pressure and stress.

I think some things are just...funny, and our brains just have a way of processing what is. Granted, we all have different senses of humor. I also think laughter is necessary. Almost as necessary as dreaming. Laughter is good for the soul, and I always feel better after having a good one.
Corny jokes are some of the best, by the way. lol

My brother is full of them. Example:
I bought orthopedic shoes the other day. I didn't think they'd work. I stand corrected.

Yep. RIGHT up my alley. I heard one the other day that was kind of stupid but still had that...element. "I tried to put a sentence together using the dictionary, but I couldn't find the words." lol

In my opinion, laughter is good for your health. It gives us moments of joy, releases stress, helps us de-stress, and allows us to gain perspective on certain situations. I like to laugh, and I like to watch my children laugh.
