Medical Science Proves Laughter really is "The best medicine"

In a paper being presented in an American Physiological Society session at Experimental Biology 2006, Lee S. Berk of Loma Linda University, reports that not only is there real science and psychophysiology, but just the anticipation of the "mirthful laughter" involved in watching your favorite funny movie has some very surprising and significant neuroendocrine/hormone effects.

You can read the release here.

Bottom line is, a good belly-laugh improves your overall health and your immune system. It also reduces stress. 

At work, a laugh every day, seems like good preventative medicine to me.

If you're having trouble laughing, perhaps this old ASCII quote from a 90's era BBS will help:
