Laughter Therapy - its no joke:
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/yod/march98/news.htm

'Hasya' or humour, created using either a situation or a behaviour-mode, easily reveals in dialogues and gestures during a play but a difficult theme for a sculpture or painting. There are, however, some excellent examples of 'Hasya' in pictoral art also and these days in cartoons. Besides caricatures and 'bhangeris'-type characters, myths, legends or stories are also used for depicting humour. For example Lord Shiva is camping with Parvati under a tree in the forest. As Shiva is adorned with serpents, a serpent, drapes across the otherwise naked form of Shiva like a loincloth, is covering his private parts. Hearing of him being there under the tree, Lord Vishnu, along with Garuda, His faithful vehicle, comes to pay him homage. The snake, as soon as it sees the bird carrier Garuda, his natural enemy, abandons Shiva leaving him all exposed and naked and flees into an anthill. It is humour by situation. Deliberate tricks and or sarcasm, usually bringing forth the philosophy and culture, sometimes in Krishna-related themes, are also used for creating humour.

FOR YOUR INTEREST: This one is not a joke but I thought you might like to know. These are the names of Lord Caitanya taken from the book "Sri Caitanya Sahasra Nama Stotra", i.e. "A Thousand Names of Lord Caitanya" by Srila Kavi Karnapura (as translated by HG Kusakratha Prabhu from the Krsna Institute)...

        So Lord Caitanya is known as the one:

 - hasya-kari  &  hasya-yuk  ==> who laughs & jokes

 - hasya-priya  ==> who is fond of joking

 - hasya-nagara ==> who is the hero of those expert in speaking joking words

 - hasya-grami  &  hasya-kara  ==> is expert at joking

 - pushpa-hasa  ==> whose smile & laugh are as charminng as flowers.

Lord Gauranga's smiling & laughing qualities ki...

P.S. One of the qualities of Srimati Radharani is that she is very expert in the art of joking.

Mrs. Agarwal, asked her 5th grade history class, "When was Rome built?" and called on Tanu to answer first.

"Rome was built at night." was his answer.

"At night?" asked Mrs. Agarwal, holding her ruler firmly in her hands. "How ever did you get such an idea?"

"Well," gulped the student, hoping his answer would satisfy her, "everyone knows Rome wasn't built in a day."

Like Father Like Son:

A little boy just couldn't learn. One day his teacher asked him who signed the Declaration of Independence. He didn't know.

For almost a week she asked him the same question every day, but still he couldn't come up with the right answer.

Finally, in desperation, she called the boy's father to her office.

"Your boy won't tell me who signed the Declaration of Independence," she complained.

"Come here, son, and sit down," the dad said to the boy. "Now if you signed that crazy thing, just admit it so we can get out of here!"

A college physics professor was explaining a particularly complicated concept to his class when a pre-med student interrupted him.

"Why do we have to learn this stuff?" one young man blurted out.

"To save lives," the professor responded before continuing the lecture.

A few minutes later the student spoke up again. "So how does physics save lives?"

The professor stared at the student for a long time without saying a word. Finally the professor continued.

"Physics saves lives," he said, "because it keeps certain people out of medical school."

The woman applying for a job in a lemon grove seemed way too qualified for the job.

A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds.

After explaining the commandment to "honor" thy Father and thy Mother, she asked,

One little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, "Thou shall not kill."

Correction

Dazed and confused by the Bible

We Have Seen the Present, and It Does Not Work.

The new edition of Today's New International Version Bible will change "stoned" to "stoned to death," it was announced,
because the current edition confused too many teenagers, who thought people were smoking dope and getting stoned.

"When I was your age I didn't even know what a lie was."

The boys gave the ten dollars to the teacher.

Project

A freshman at Eagle Rock Junior High won first prize at the Greater Idaho Falls Science Fair, April 26 2006.
In his project he urged people to sign a petition demanding strict control or total elimination of the chemical "dihydrogen monoxide."

And for plenty of good reasons, since:

1.  It can cause excessive sweating and vomiting.
2.  It is a major component in acid rain.
3.  It can cause severe burns in its gaseous state.
4.  Accidental inhalation can kill you.
5.  It contributes to erosion.
6.  It decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.
7.  It has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients.

He asked 50 people if they supported a ban of the chemical.

Forty-three (43) said yes, six (6) were undecided, and the last one?

Well, only one (1) knew that the chemical, dihydrogen monoxide, was water (H2O).

The title of his prize winning project was, "How Gullible Are We?"



As a medical transcriptionist, a friend found the following statement in a report from a U.S. Department of Labour claims examiner:
"The claimant was involved in an automobile accident while five months pregnant with a tractor-trailer."

The ways of this material world - strange but true

After stopping for a drink at a bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride.

He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies.
The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.


........danger at every step

A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley, when he spotted a world-famous heart surgeon in his shop. The heart surgeon was waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his bike. The mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey Doc can I ask you a question?"

The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic working on the motorcycle.

The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I also can open hearts, take valves out, fix'em, put in new parts and when I finish this will work just like a new one. So how come I get a pittance and you get the really big money, when you and I are doing basically the same work?"

The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over, and whispered to the mechanic..... "Try doing it with the engine running!

Diplomacy.........

Some neighbors of my grandparents gave them a pumpkin pie as a gift.

As lovely as the gesture was, it was clear from the first bite that the pie tasted bad. It was so inedible that my grandmother had to throw it away.

Ever gracious and tactful, my grandmother still felt obliged to send the neighbors a note.

It read, "Thank you very much for the pumpkin pie. Something like that doesn't last very long in our house."

One for all of you going back to school:

School Answering Machine

This is the message that the Pacific Palisades High School (California) staff voted unanimously to record on their school telephone answering machine. This is the actual answering machine message for the school. This came about because they implemented a policy requiring students and parents to be responsible for their children's absences and missing homework.

The school and teachers are being sued by parents who want their children's failing grades changed to passing grades - even though those children were absent 15-30 times during the semester and did not complete enough schoolwork to pass their classes. The outgoing message:

"Hello! You have reached the automated answering service of your school. In order to assist you in connecting to the right staff member, please listen to all the options before making a selection:

->  To lie about why your child is absent - Press 1

->  To make excuses for why your child did not do his work- Press 2

->  To complain about what we do - Press 3

->  To swear at staff members - Press 4

->  To ask why you didn't get information that was already enclosed in your newsletter and several flyers mailed to you - Press 5

->  If you want us to raise your child - Press 6

->  If you want to reach out and touch, slap or hit someone - Press 7

->  To request another teacher, for the third time this year - Press 8

->  To complain about bus transportation - Press 9

->  To complain about school lunches - Press 0

->  If you realize this is the real world and your child must be accountable and responsible for his/her own behavior, class work, homework and that it's not the teachers' fault for your child's lack of effort: Hang up and have a nice day.

.......and always remember (don't forget...)
