Have you heard that some medical professionals are teaching that laughter can increase your lifespan, i.e., make
you live longer? Because laughter relaxes you, it allows the body to purge itself of inner distress brought on by
the stresses of life.
Laughter helps to release endorphins which are a part of the body’s defense mechanism to help fight disease.
Endorphins enhance the immune system, relieve pain, reduce stress, and postpone the aging process. So, whether you
are laughing at hilarious jokes or enjoying a movie or television program that makes you laugh, you are building a
stronger immune system, increasing your energy level, relieving your pain, reducing stress and helping yourself to
look better and live longer!
Laughter may be the best medicine for your mind and body. Adding humor to your life has a way of lightening your
burdens. It dissolves distressful emotions and helps you to relax and recharge. The ability to laugh (oftentimes at
one’s self) allows you to look for the humor in the most stressful situation. This may enable you to be a bit more
inclined to handle such situations differently, and add years to your life in the process.
Incorporate more laughter into your life by reading something humorous or watching funny videos. Hanging around
little children will make you laugh. Kids do say the funniest things. Visit a comedy club or share a good joke or a
story with a friend.
Even though it’s true that laughing can extend your life, that doesn’t imply that you ought to ignore the good
rules of health. So, to look and feel your best - continue to eat healthy; get plenty of rest; stay in the best,
possible physical shape; take your vitamins and supplements; and laugh your ass off!

I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.
I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is, and I didn't notice that the light had changed.
It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed.
I found that LOTS of people love Jesus. Why, while I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and when he leaned out of his window and screamed, "for the love of God, GO! GO!" What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus.
Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started waving and smiling at all these loving people.
I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love. There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach...
I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. When I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant, he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back.
My grandson burst out laughing, why even he was enjoying this religious experience.
A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me.
I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed.
So, I waved to all my sisters and brothers, grinning, and drove on through the intersection.
I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared, so I slowed the car down, leaned out of the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away.
Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!
She gets into the cab, and notices that the VERY handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her.
She asks him why he is staring.
He replies:
"I have a question to ask you but I don't want to offend you."
She answers,
"My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun for as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I am sure that there is nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive."
"Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me."
She responds,
"Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single; and #2, you must be Catholic."
The cab driver is very excited and says, "Yes, I'm single and Catholic!"
"Okay," the nun says, "pull into the next alley."
The nun fulfills his fantasy, with a kiss that would make a hooker blush.
But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.
"My dear child," says the nun, "why are you crying?"
"Forgive me, but I have sinned. I lied and I must confess...I'm married and I'm Jewish."
The nun says, "That's Okay,
my name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party."
