Slim Down While You Laugh It Up! by Janice Taylor<\/a>
\nDid you know that laughter~
\n* Reduces levels of certain stress hormones.
\n* Boosts the immune system.
\n* May lead to hiccupping but will dislodge mucus plugs from the respiratory tract! (Oh, how appealing!)
\n* Gives you a full body workout (works the diaphragm and abdominal, respiratory, facial and back muscles).
\n* Ever feel exhausted after the giggles? You just had an aerobic workout. (My kind of exercise!)
\n* Gets those positive endorphins pumping! Laughter invokes feelings of happiness and joy!
\n* Promotes creative thoughts.
\n* Creates bonding with your fellow human. Nothing better than a shared laugh!
\nHere are a few yuks to start your week and to help you bond with your neighbor!
\n“My wife will say this to me – “Honey, I want you to tell me if I’m getting fat.” And I say, “All right, and you tell me if I start getting retarded.” ~ Jeff Foxworthy
\n“It serves me right for keeping all my eggs in one bastard.” ~ Dorothy Parker
\n“Instead of getting married again, I’m going to find a woman I don’t like and give her a house.” ~ Lewis Grizzard
\n“My mother buried three husbands – and two of them were just napping. ~ Rita Rudner
\n“We never talked to each other in my family. We communicated by putting Ann Landers articles on the refrigerator.” ~ Judy Gold
\nCAUTION: Don’t Tease, If You Please … New York University’s latest research indicates that a well-meant joke is more than likely to be taken the wrong way. To avoid unknowingly hurting someone’s feelings make yourself the butt of your jokes.
\nWhat’s your favorite one-liner (or two)? Comment below!
\nSpread the word … NOT the icing!
\nJanice
