Laughter Is Inner Jogging*

I went to a kid’s movie, as I sometimes do, just Hoodwinked was surprisingly funny, even without kids.to listen to crowds of children laugh in unison. The movie today, Hoodwinked, was hilarious, and there was plenty of raucous laughter throughout, especially at some of the slapstick scenes – people falling down, squirrels smacking windshields of fast-moving cars. It was good, but I noticed I was the only one laughing at times. Amusing and clever dialogue gets me every time, and I love to laugh at words.

"Man is distinguished from all other creatures by the faculty of laughter." Joseph Addison

"You don’t stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing." Michael Pritchard

"The head thinks, the hands labor, but it’s the heart that laughs." Joseph Heller

*The title is a quotation from Norman Cousins.

Ann, hey, bum around on KMM all you like, especially here with me. I've not seen the book, but will add it to the list. A lot of the literature seems to point that way, that fun and laughter make us more productive. That certainly has been true in my career. I've done well where humor was appreciated, and struggled where it was repressed. Life is too short and work days too long not to have a few laughs. That's what I think.
