Laughter

Some people say to eat an apple a day to keep the doctor away.

I say don’t go to the doctor to keep them away.

It cannot be argued that the best medicine is laughter though. Being able to laugh, at yourself especially, is something everyone should be able to do in just about all situations. I have the huge advantage of looking terribly funny, so I have just grown up with it. The one weird thing about laughter is how varied people’s laughs can be.

The Woody Woodpecker laugh has to be one of the most annoying. The annoyance level is quadrupled when that laugh sits next to you in a cube farm. It’s hard to get mad at someone that’s laughing, but this may be an exception.

The silent laugh. When people smile and open their mouth, but nothing comes out. These people are usually characterized by their large bodies and general lack of physical fitness. They are not healthy enough to get air through their lungs to put out a good laugh. They are usually out of breath going up 4 or more stairs and breath heavily after doing so.

The what the crap is that, a laugh?! It sounds more like a convulsion and you fear for the person laughing that they might die.

The gasping for air laugh. It sounds like the person is wheezing and their face gets all red, quite uncomfortable for those around.

The fake laugh laughter. These people make it hard to distinguish between an actual laugh, a fake laugh, and a courtesy laugh. It is a terrible thing when a belly laugh cannot be distinguished between a fake laugh. Similar to Nien Nunb from Star Wars episode VI.

The loud laugher. This guy thinks all things require a laugh that can be heard across town. These people are usually idiots that don’t understand normal social behavior and need to shut their pie holes.

Belly laughter is the greatest of all. You know what belly laughter is when you are out of control, you start to tear up and a little pee comes out. Like the first time you saw Tom & Jerry right before bed and you were really tired or heard that the Mavericks just won the NBA Finals!? Wait, the NBA is still going on!?
