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.

 The Atheist

An atheist was taking a walk through the woods.  "What majestic trees!  What powerful rivers!  What beautiful animals!" he said to himself.

As he continued walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes.  Turning to look, he saw a seven-foot grizzly charging towards him.

He ran as fast as he could up the path.  Looking over his shoulder he saw that the bear was closing in on him.  His heart was pumping frantically and he tried to run even faster.

He tripped and fell on the ground.  He rolled over to pick himself up but saw the bear raising his paw to take a swipe at him.  At that instant the atheist cried out: "Oh my God..."

Time stopped.

The bear froze.

The forest was silent.

It was then that a bright light shone down upon the man and a voice came out of the sky saying: "You deny my existence for all of these years, teach others I don't exist, and even credit creation to a cosmic accident.  Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament?  Am I to count you as a believer?"

The atheist looked directly into the light, "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps, could you make the BEAR a Christian?"

"Very well," said the voice.  The light went out.  And the sounds of the forest resumed.

Then the bear lowered its paw, bowed its head and spoke: "Lord, bless this food which I am about to receive and for which I am truly thankful.  Amen."

When the U.S. Mint reissued two-dollar bills, I thought they might someday become collectors' items.
I went to the bank and picked up a hundred, serially numbered and still in their original band.

On my next trip to my parents' house, I gave the $200 to my mother and said, "Take good care of these. They might be worth something someday."

Several months later I asked Mom if she was keeping the two-dollar bills safe. "Oh, yes!" she replied. "I deposited them in the bank the day after you left."



There have been a couple of generations in the last sixty years that have missed the boat, but this group isn't one of them. A first grade school teacher in Virginia had twenty-five students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the first half of
a well known saying and asked them to come up with the remainder of the saying. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you. While reading, keep in mind that these are first graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is a classic!

Two trucks loaded with a thousand copies of Roget's Thesaurus collided as they left a New York publishing house last Thursday, according to the Associated Press.

Witnesses were stunned, startled, aghast, taken aback, stupefied, amazed, wowed....

A man writing at the post office desk was approached by an older fellow with a post card in his hand.
The old man said, "Sir, I'm sorry to bother you but could you address this post card for me? My arthritis is acting up today and I can't even hold a pen."

"Certainly sir," said the younger man, "I'd be glad to."

He wrote out the address and also agreed to write a short message and sign the card for the man.
Finally, the younger man asked, "Now, is there anything else I can do for you?"

The old fellow thought about it for a moment and said, "Yes, at the end could you just add, 'PS: Please excuse the sloppy hand-writing.'?"

Jasbinder was at the mall and went into a toy shop, picked up a toy plane, gave the shopkeeper fake money and started to leave.

The shopkeeper told him, "Excuse me little boy, this isn't real money."

Jasbinder continued walking out of the shop and didn't reply.

The shopkeeper repeated himself, and Jasbinder kept walking.

The third time the shopkeeper called him, Jasbinder said "What?"

The shopkeeper said, "I'm sorry, young man, but this is not real money."

Jasbinder looked at the plane in his hands, looked at the shopkeeper and finally said, "And this isn't a real plane."


A bus load of politicians were driving down a country road in Bengal, when all of a
sudden, the bus ran off the road and crashed into a tree in an old
farmer's field. The old farmer, after seeing what happened, went over to investigate.

He then proceeded to dig a hole and bury the politicians. A few days
later, the local police sheriff came out, saw the crashed bus, and asked the
farmer where all the politicians had gone.

The old farmer said he had buried them.

The sheriff then asked the old farmer, "Were they ALL dead?" The old
farmer replied, "Well, some of them said they weren't, but you know how them politicians lie."

3 men, 1 a garbageman,1 a waiter and the other a lawyer, all died on the  one day, and all floated up where they arrived at the gates of heaven.
As they stood on a cloud, a saint appeared before them and said:

'Before any of you enter heaven you must answer 1 question' The saint walked up to the garbage man and said:
"What was the name of the ship that sunk in 1912? they made a movie about  it".
"I know, the man cried " I watched the movie with my girlfriend, it was the  "Titanic". "Ok" the saint said "go in"

After the first man had entered, the saint walked over to the waiter and said:
"How many people died when the Titanic went down?"
The man thought for a second then replied "I'm not sure, but around 1200?" "Close enough" the saint answered and let him enter.

Finally he reached the lawyer and said :
"ok" the saint said "Name them"

High school essays

Maybe kids today aren't getting dumber. Maybe they're just getting funnier! Enjoy these analogies and metaphors found in actual high school essays.

Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.

His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.

He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country, speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.

She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.

Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.

He was as tall as a six-foot, three-inch tree.

The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because of his wife's infidelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge at a formerly surcharge-free ATM machine.

The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.

McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.

From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you're on vacation in another city and Jeopardy comes on at 7:00 p.m.instead of 7:30.

Q. What do misers do in winter?

told to us at the Sunday feast by Narad (age 10) son of Tulsi mataji and Madhumangala prabhu



Old electricians never die, they just lose contact.


A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.

Four worms were placed into four separate jars.

The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.
The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.
The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup.
The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil.

At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:

The first worm in alcohol ­ Dead.

The second worm in cigarette smoke ­ Dead

Third worm in chocolate syrup ­ Dead

Fourth worm in good clean soil ­ Alive.

So the Minister asked the congregation ­  What can you learn from this demonstration?

Maxine was sitting in the back, quickly raised her hand and said,  "As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won't have worms."

The ways of this material world - strange but true

Hundreds of passengers on a train in India were asked by the conductor to get out and push.

The train came to a halt when a passenger pulled the emergency cord. But it stopped in a 'neutral zone' - a small section of the track in which there's no electrical current in the overhead wires.

The passengers were forced to get off the train and it took them half-an-hour to push it the remaining 12 feet into the powered stretch of the line.

A spokesman for Indian Railways commented, "In so many years of service in the railways, I have never come across such a bizarre incident."


Did you hear about the person who witnessed a robbery in a fabric factory and immediately called the police.
They caught the culprit and held him as a material witness.


Ooooooooooooooops

SAINT, n. A dead sinner revised and edited. The Duchess of Orleans relates that the irreverent old calumniator, Marshal Villeroi, who in his youth had known St. Francis de Sales, said, on hearing him called saint: "I am delighted to hear that Monsieur de Sales is a saint. He was fond of saying indelicate things, and used to cheat at cards. In other respects he was a perfect gentleman, though a fool."

SARCOPHAGUS, n. Among the Greeks a coffin which being made of a certain kind of carnivorous stone, had the peculiar property of devouring the body placed in it. The sarcophagus known to modern obsequiographers is commonly a product of the carpenter's art.

A dog had followed his owner to school. His owner was a Fourth grader at a public elementary school. However, when the bell rang, the dog sidled inside the building and made it all the way to the child's classroom before a teacher noticed and shoo'ed him outside, closing the door behind him.

The dog sat down, whimpered and stared at the closed doors.

Then God appeared beside the dog, patted his head, and said, "Don't feel bad fella'....they won't let ME in either."


A US town is to make it a crime to wear low hung trousers that reveal underwear.

Delcambre town council, in Louisiana, has unanimously passed the new law.

And Mayor Carol Broussard says she will gladly rubber stamp it.

"If you expose your private parts, you'll get a fine," she said.

Offenders will face a US$500 (approx £250 fine or NZ$ 650. or IND Rs. 20,000.) and also risk up to six months in jail.

The law adds underwear to the list of what must not be revealed under state indecent exposure laws.

" Some residents say the new law targets blacks, as low-slung trousers are fashionable among hip hop fans.

But Ms Broussard denied it was racially motivated: "White people wear sagging pants with their undies showing, too," she said.

See you next time !!!
