SOME FACTS ABOUT HUMOUR

"With devotion steeped in love and affection, the yogi should meditate within the core of his heart upon the laughter of Lord Vishnu. The laughter of Vishnu is so captivating that it can be easily meditated upon. When the Supreme Lord is laughing, one can see His small teeth, which resemble jasmine buds rendered rosy by the splendor of His lips. Once devoting his mind to this, the yogi no longer desires to see anything else." ~ S.P., Srimad-Bhagavatam 3-23-33 "Kapila's Instructions on Devotional Service"

SCIENCE - After surgery but prior to the administration of pain medication, patients were told one-liner jokes. Those patients who were exposed to the humor experienced less pain in comparison to the other surgery patients who didn't get a dose of humor as part of their therapy. ~ Summary from study published in  ' Journal of Holistic Nursing'

Medical experts (Dr. Derk & Dr. Wiilliiamsburg) reveal that a powerful laugh will relax tensed muscles, brings more oxygen into the system and more quickly, lowers blood pressure, and offers a free, overall health benefits on many levels! And its free!. (If the FDA could manufacture a medicine like this, they'd charge a bundle.)

Loma Linda University Cali study by Dr. Lee Berk and Dr. Stanley Tan showed that physiological responses that were produced from belly laughter, were the opposite of what is seen in classical stress, thereby offering yet more evidence that laughing produces healthy or positive emotions.

Results of research by Dr. Lee Berk and Dr. Stanley Tan (Loma Linda U of Ca) indicated that after a good belly laugh, there is a general increase in activity within the immune system, such as: increased number and activity level of natural killer cells that attack viral infected cells and some types of cancer and tumor cells.

If it tickles your funny bone then chances are it will reduce the stress in your life and leave your immune system to do its part. This premise has been supported by both the field of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences. A recent publication with research data appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Skin welt sizes were compared in patients suffering from severe allergies after one group watched a video featuring Charlie Chaplin and the other group listened to a documentary on weather. Needless to say, the Japanese study confirmed a reduction in skin welt size in the group watching the famed comedian. [FROM CNN.COM]  CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, February 13, 2001:

MORE SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS ABOUT LAUGHTER

* Laughter stimulates physical healing.
* Laughter enhances our individual creativity.
* Laughter is rejuvenating and regenerating.
* Laughter is good for relationships (that includes friendships).
* Laughter opens the heart.
* Laughter gives us a glimpse of freedom from the mind. (In other words, helpful for getting off the mental platform!)

~~ Articles by N. Lehrman in Archives of Internal Medicine, April 26,1993; Lee Berk, Dr. P.H. in Loma Linda University School of Medicine News, March 11,1999; N.Silver in American Health, November 1986; J. McCormick in Lancet, August 1994.

"We are less likely to succcummb to feelings of depression and helplessness if we are able to laugh at what is troubling us. Humor gives us a sense of perspective on our problems. Laughter provides an opportunity for the release of those uncomfortable emotions which, if held inside, may create biochemical changes that are harmful to the body." Patty Wooten, author of 'Pulmonary Rehabilitation: Guidelines to Success'

SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS - Controlled studies have given evidence that a good belly laugh has lowered serum cortisol levels, increased amounts of activated T lymphocytes, increased number and activity of natural killer cells, and increased the number of T cells that have helper/ suppresser receptors. Or to sum it up: laughter off-sets the immunosuppressive effects of stress and is therefore significantly improves the health of the immune system. - Discoveries by Dr. Berk and Dr. Tan, Loma Linda University.

Evidence (from EEG) revealed that when a joke is just about to be told, the initial anticipation results in  the brains cortex's left hemisphere starting the function of analyzing of word processing. Next, most brain activity moved to the frontal lobe (the center of emotions). After that, the right hemisphere's synthesis mix with the left's processing to look for and locate the pattern or to be able to "get" the joke. Very quickly following, though just prior to the persons had quite enough time to laugh, brain waves increase and spread to   the occipital lobe which is the sensory processing areas of the brain. There was an increase in fluctuations of delta waves which reached a crescendo of activity and crested as the brain 'got' the joke followed by the recipient beginning of laughter. So here you have 'scientific' knowledge how laughter works, integrating the brain and getting it to all function together, thanks to Dr. Derk & Dr. Williamsburg. Now, stop analyzing and start laughing! :-) You have facts that it's actually beneficial for a variety of health issues, so don't minimize its importance and start giving yourself permission to take out time each day to laugh.  Like a vitamin or even a meal, it's a necessity!

Did you ever notice that people who spend money on beer, cigarettes and lottery
tickets, are always complaining about being broke and not feeling well

One of my friends got a speeding ticket and was attending a defensive driving course to have points erased from her license. The instructor, a police officer, emphasized that being on time was crucial, and that the classroom doors would be locked when each session began.

Just after one class started, someone knocked on the locked door.
The officer opened it and asked, "Why are you late?"

The student replied, "I was trying not to get another ticket."

Business conventions are important because they demonstrate how
many people a company can operate without.

An old man goes to a diner every day for lunch. He always orders the soup du jour. One day the manager asks him how he liked his meal. The old man replies, "It was good, but you could give a little more bread."

So the next day the manager tells the waitress to give him four slices of bread. "How was your meal, sir?" the manager asks. "It was good, but you could give a little more bread," comes the reply.

So the next day the manager tells the waitress to give him eight slices of bread. "How was your meal today, sir?" the manager asks.

"Good, but you could give a little more bread," comes the reply.

So . . . the next day the manager tells the waitress to give him a whole loaf of bread with his soup! "How was your meal, sir?" the manager asks, when he comes to pay.

"It was good, but you could give just a little more bread," comes the reply once again.

The manager is now obsessed with seeing this customer say that he is satisfied with his meal, so he goes to the bakery, and orders a six-foot-long loaf of bread. When the man comes in as usual the next day, the waitress and the manager cut the loaf in half, butter the entire length of each half, and lay it out along the counter, right next to his bowl of soup. The old man sits down, and devours both his bowl of soup, and both halves of the six-foot-long loaf of bread.

The manager now thinks he will get the answer he is looking for, and when the old man comes up to pay for his meal, the manager asks in the usual way: "How was your meal TODAY, sir?"  The old man replies:
"It was good as usual, but I see you are back to giving only two slices of bread!"

After many years, her original wedding band had become worn and thin, so she asked her husband to buy her a new ring as her anniversary present,
but this time she asked him to buy her one with diamonds.

They went down to the jewelry store to pick one out.
 
As they waited for the clerk, she said to her husband, "My eyes aren't as good as they used to be, so I'd really like diamonds I can see."

Having overheard their conversation, a lady standing nearby remarked, "Excuse me sir, it would be cheaper if you bought her glasses."
 

 There was a sixteen year-old boy who, having just gotten his driver's license, came home with a Rolls-Royce.
His parents began to fuss, "Where did you get that car?!!"

       He calmly told them, "I bought it today."
       "With what money?" demanded his parents?  "We know what a Rolls costs.  It ain't cheap!"
       "Well," said the boy, "this one cost me fifteen dollars."
       The parents began to panic and asked, "Who would sell a car like that for fifteen dollars?" `

       "It was the nice lady up the street," said the boy.  "I don't know her name; they just moved in.
She saw me ride past on my bike and asked me if I wanted to buy a Rolls-Royce for fifteen dollars."

       "Oh my Goodness," moaned the mother, "John, you go right up there and see what's going on."

       The father walked up the street to the house where the lady lived and found her out in the yard calmly planting petunias!

He introduced himself as the father of the boy to whom she had sold the Rolls-Royce for fifteen dollars and he demanded to know what was going on.

       "Well," she replied, "this morning I got a phone call from my husband.  I thought he was on a business trip, but I learned from a friend that he had run off to Hawaii with his secretary.  The secretary took his money and left him after they had arrived.  He called me and claimed he was robbed and stranded.  He asked me to sell his new Rolls-Royce and send him the money.  So I did."

One morning, when my son was about 19 months, he saw my wife putting on a pale green face-mask. (Something she rarely does.)

"What 'ou doin'?" he said.

"I'm putting on a face mask," she replied.

"What it for?" he asked.

"It's to make Mummy look more beautiful," my wife told him.

He stood looking at me in that considering way that small children have, then said as gently as possible, "Well...it doesn't."

A man went into the proctologist's office for his first exam

The doctor told him to have a seat in the examination room and that he would be with him in just a few minutes.

When the man sat down and began observing the tools, he noticed there were items on a stand next to the doctor's desk.

  1. A tube of K-Y jelly
  2. A rubber glove
  3. A beer

When the doctor finally came in, the man said "Look Doc I'm a little confused.

This is my first exam I know what the K-Y is for, and I know what the glove is for, but can you tell me what the BEER is for?"

At that the doctor became noticeably outraged and stormed over to the door.

The doc flung the door open and yelled to his nurse........

One day many years ago at a school in South London a teacher said to the class of 5-year-olds,
"I'll give $20 to the child who can tell me who was the most famous man who ever lived."

An Irish boy put his hand up and said, "It was St. Patrick." The teacher said, "Sorry Alan, that's not correct."

Then a Scottish boy put his hand up and said, "It was St. Andrew." The teacher replied, "I'm sorry, Hamish, that's not right either.

Finally, a Gujarati boy raised his hand and said, "It was Jesus Christ." The teacher said, "That's absolutely right, Jayant, come up here and I'll give you the $20."

As the teacher was giving Jayant his money, she said, "You know Jayant, since you are Gujarati, I was very surprised you said Jesus Christ."
Jayant replied, "Yes, in my heart I knew it was Lord Krishna, but business is business!"

Two rabbis, one Reformed and the other Orthodox, were discussing their respective congregations one day.

The Reformed rabbi asked the Orthodox leader, "Why don't you let the men and women of your congregation sit together, as they do in my temple?"

The Orthodox rabbi, known for his sense of humor, replied, "If you want to know the truth, I don't really mind them sitting together at all.
But, you see, my sermons aren't that interesting and I just can't have them sleeping together"

A collector of rare books ran into an acquaintance who told him he had just thrown away an old Bible he found in a dusty, old box.
He happened to mention that Guten-somebody- or-another had printed it.

"Not Gutenberg?" gasped the collector.

"Yes, that was it!"

"You idiot! You've thrown away one of the first Christian books ever printed. A copy recently sold at an auction for half a million dollars!"

"Oh, I don't think this book would have been worth anything close to that much," replied the man.
"It was scribbled all over in the margins by some clown named Martin Luther."

There is this Indian lady who is invited to her son Kumar's place for dinner.
Now you must understand, Kumar had moved to an apartment and is living with his roommate Sunita.

During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but notice how pretty Kumar's roommate was.

She had long been suspicious of a relationship between the two, and this had only made her more curious.

Over the course of the evening while watching the two interact, she began to wander if there was more between Kumar and his roommate than meets the eye.

Reading his Mum's thoughts, Kumar volunteered:

"I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Sunita and I are just roommates."

About a week later, Sunita came to Kumar saying:

"Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the frying pan. You don't suppose she took it, do you?"

Kumar said ,"Well, I doubt it, but I'll email her, just to be sure."
 
So he sat down and wrote :
 
Dear Mother:
I'm not saying that you 'did'  take the frying pan from my house,
I'm not saying that you 'did not'  take the frying pan . . .
But the fact remains that  it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.

Love, Kumar
 
Several days later, Kumar received an email from his Mother which read:
 
Dear Son
I am not saying that you 'DO' sleep with Sunita, and I'm not saying that you 'DO NOT' sleep with Sunita.
But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her OWN bed, she would have found the frying pan by now under the pillow . . .
 
Love,  Mom.
 
*Lesson of the day:*
 
Don't Lie to Your Mother   -  especially if she is Indian !

A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, rocks about 2" in diameter.

He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.
He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed that this time it was.

The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous -- yes.

The professor then produced a nimbo paani drink from under the table and proceeded to pour their entire
contents into the jar--effectively filling the empty space between the sand.

The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The rocks are the important things - your family, your partner, your health, your children--things that if everything else was lost and only they remained,
your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car.
The sand is everything else. The small stuff."

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical check-ups.
Take your partner out dancing! There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the car.

"Take care of the rocks first -- the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the nimbo paani represented.

The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a couple of refreshing nimbo paanis in yer life."

A funeral service is being held for a woman who has just passed away. At the end of the service, the pall bearers are carrying the casket out when they accidentally bump into a wall, jarring the casket. They hear a faint moan. They open the casket and find that the woman is actually alive!
She lives for ten more years, and then dies. Once again, a ceremony is held, and at the end of it, the pall bearers are again carrying out the casket.
As they carry the casket towards the door, the husband cries out, 'Oi fellas watch that wall!'

In the examination paper the Professor wanted us to sign a form stating that we had not received any outside assistance.
Unsure of whether he should sign the form, a student stated that he had prayed for the assistance of God.

Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the Villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each.

The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest, and started catching them. The man bought thousands at $10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at $20.
This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.

Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer increased to $25 each and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it!

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50!
However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.

In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. "Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell them to him for $50 each."

The villagers rounded up with all their savings and bought all the monkeys. Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!

"That's what I call a cord," the man answered firmly.

Grudgingly, Ranjit fished around in his pocket and thrust some bills into the man's hands.

"Hey, wait a minute," the woodsman complained after counting the money. "You only gave me $30."

With a shrug of the shoulders, Ranjit replied, "That's what I call $60."

An elderly gent was invited to an old friend's home for dinner one evening.
He was impressed by the way his buddy preceded every request to his wife with

While the wife was in the kitchen, the man leaned over and said to his host,
'I think it's wonderful that, after all these years, you still call your wife those loving pet names' The old man hung his head.
'I have to tell you the truth,' he said,
'Her name slipped my mind about 10 years ago and
 
I'm scared to death to ask her what it is!'

WAR, n. A by-product of the arts of peace. The most menacing political condition is a period of international amity. The student of history who has not been taught to expect the unexpected may justly boast himself inaccessible to the light. "In time of peace prepare for war" has a deeper meaning than is commonly discerned; it means, not merely that all things earthly have an end ­ that change is the one immutable and eternal law ­ but that the soil of peace is thickly sown with the seeds of war and singularly suited to their germination and growth.
It was when Kubla Khan had decreed his "stately pleasure dome" ­ when, that is to say, there were peace and fat feasting in Xanadu ­ that he

Ancestral voices prophesying war.

One of the greatest of poets, Coleridge was one of the wisest of men, and it was not for nothing that he read us this parable. Let us have a little less of "hands across the sea," and a little more of that elemental distrust that is the security of nations.
War loves to come like a thief in the night; professions of eternal amity provide the night.

A jeweler called the police station to report a robbery.
"You'll never believe what happened, Sergeant. A truck backed up to my store, the doors opened and an elephant came out.
He broke my plate glass window, stuck his trunk in, sucked up all the jewelry and climbed back into the truck.
The doors closed and the truck pulled away."
The desk sergeant said, "Could you tell me, for identification purposes,
whether it was an Indian elephant or an African elephant?"
"What's the difference?" asked the jeweler.
"Well," said the sergeant, an African elephant has great big ears and an Indian elephant has little ears."
"Come to think of it, I couldn't see his ears," said the jeweler. "He had a stocking over his head."

There Be Days Like This

On a bright sunny morning the lion awoke feeling hung-over, really rowdy and rather mean. He went roaring out of his den an cornering a small monkey, roared, "Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?"

The trembling monkey says, "You are, mighty lion! Later, the lion confronts a ox and fiercely bellows,.... "Who is the mightiest of all jungle animals?" The terrified ox stammers, "Oh great lion, you are the mightiest animal in the jungle! "

On a roll now, the lion swaggers up to an elephant and roars, "Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?"

Fast as lightning, the elephant snatches up the lion with his trunk, slams him against a tree half a dozen times, leaving the lion feeling like it'd been run over by an over-loaded safari wagon. The elephant then stomped on the poor lion till it looked like a corn tortilla and then ambled away.

The lion let out a low slow moan of pain, lifts his head weakly and hollers after the elephant -
"Just because you don't know the answer, you don't have to get so damned upset about it!"

There was this little guy sitting inside a cafe, just looking at his drink. After he didn't move for a half-an-hour, this big trouble-making truck driver stepped up right next to him, took the drink from the guy, and just drank it all down. The poor man started crying.

The truck driver turned and said "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a man crying."

"No, it's not that." the man replied, "Today is the worst day of my life. First, I overslept and was late for an important meeting. My boss became outraged and then fired me. When I left the building to my car, I found out that it was stolen."

The police said they could do nothing. I then got a cab to return home, and after I paid the cab driver and the cab had gone, I found that I left my whole wallet in the cab. I got home only to find my wife was in bed with the gardener."

The man was really sobbing now, "I left home really depressed and came to this cafe.
And now, just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, YOU show up and drink my poison..."

A Biker was riding his bike along the beach in California when the
heavens parted and the booming voice of God spoke to him.
" My son to prove my unlimited mercy I am going to grant you any wish you may want"

The biker stopped and said: "very well, grant me a wish of building a
highway to Hawaii, then I can ride over there whenever I feel like it"
God replied: "My son, that is a very materialistic wish. This wish
will probably exhaust the earth of many of its resources. You will
have to sink columns of steel and concrete to the bottom of the
Pacific ocean. Its a vast undertaking. I can do it if you really
wish, but why don't you take some time out and think of another wish,
something that will truly benefit all of mankind."

The biker thought again; "very well God, grant me a wish that I can
understand my wife. The evil eyes, the silent treatment, the
bottomless resource of emotions, the anger the tears."

God replied: "Now was that a two lane or four lane highway that you wanted."
