"Any gentleman should be a little humorous."

- Srila Prabhupada (Letter to Kurusrestha 75-09-26)(26th Sept 1976)

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!

A little girl asked her father: 'How did the human race appear?'

 The father answered, 'God made Adam and Eve; they had children; and so was all mankind made.'

 
 Two days later the girl asked her mother the same question. The mother answered,

 'Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race evolved.'
 
 The confused girl returned to her father and said,

 'Dad how is it possible that you told me the human race was created
by God, and Mum said they developed from monkeys?'

 The father answered, 'Well, Dear, it is very simple.

 I told you about my side of the family, and your mother told you about hers.'

AN IRISH GHOST STORY

 This story happened a while ago in Dublin , and even though it sounds  like
an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's true.
 
John Bradford, a Dublin University student, was on the side of the road
hitchhiking on a very dark night and in the midst of a storm.
 
The night was rolling on and no car went by. The storm was so strong he
could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly, he saw a car slowly
come toward him and stop. John, desperate for shelter and without  thinking
about it, got into the car and closed the door... only to  realize there was
nobody behind the wheel and the engine wasn't on!!

 The car started moving slowly. John looked at the road ahead and saw a
curve approaching. Scared, he started to pray, begging for his life.
 Then, just before the car hit the curve, a hand appeared through the
window and turned the wheel. John, paralyzed with terror, watched as the
hand repeatedly came through the window, but never touched or harmed  him.
 
Shortly thereafter John saw the lights of a pub appear down the road,  so,
gathering strength, he jumped out of the car and ran to it. Wet and  out of
breath, he rushed inside and started telling everybody about the  horrible
experience he had just had. A silence enveloped the pub when  everybody
realized he was crying and...wasn't drunk.
 
Suddenly, the door opened, and two other people walked in from the  stormy
night. They, like John, were also soaked and out of breath.
 Looking around, and seeing John Bradford sobbing at the bar, one said to the other...
 
'Look O'Malley, there's that idiot that got into the car while we were pushing it.'

A young man was sitting next to me in one of the two "husband chairs" in a ladies' clothing store.
 
After 30 minutes and five outfits, the fellow's wife came out of the change room again.
 
He looked at her and  immediately said: "That looks good
"Honey," she replied, "this is what I was wearing when we came in."

  Did you ever wonder? 

When the store manager returned from lunch, he noticed his clerk's hand was bandaged,
but before he could ask about the bandage, the clerk had some very good news for him.

"Guess what, sir?" the clerk said. "I finally sold that terrible, ugly suit we've had so long!"

"Do you mean that repulsive pink and blue double-breasted thing?" the manager asked.

"That's the one!"

That's great!" the manager cried, "I thought we'd never get rid of that monstrosity! That had to be the ugliest suit we've ever had!
But tell me...why is your hand bandaged?"

"Oh," the clerk replied, "after I sold the guy that suit, his 'seeing eye guide dog' bit me."
 

He doesn't realize it will come soon enough

Dr. Ravi Prasad was brought up on charges at the medical board. He had, it seemed, uttered the vilest profanity to his nurse.
 
He explained, "Let me tell you what happened.  My alarm didn't go off, so I woke up late. When I did wake up, I tried to turn on the light in the lamp on my nightstand. The bulb exploded and scared me for a minute, so I pulled the cord out of the wall and the lamp fell over and broke.

Then I was trying to make a little breakfast when a whole army of little Girl Scouts showed up and tried to sell me tons of cookies.  I had to buy five boxes to get rid of the kids.  By then my herbal tea was ice cold and my toast were burned.  I gulped down a glass of juice.  It turned out to be sour.
 
When I started to drive to the office, the car conked out.  The alternator was gone.  I didn't have my auto club card with me so I had to pay to have the car towed to a service station. I looked at my service book and discovered that the warranty ran out last week. I took a cab to the office, but around Main Street somebody sideswiped us and I hit my head on the door handle.
 
I finally made it into my office when my nurse said, "Doctor, a shipment of thermometers just came in, where do you want me to put them?"

So I told her, and she took offense........

During a Sunday service, the pastor asked the congregation for their intentions.

We heard the usual requests to pray for sick people and the acknowledgments for those who helped when a parishioner died. The somber mood was broken when the last intention was heard.

A woman stood up and said, "My granddaughter turned 16 this week and received her driver's license. Let us pray for us all."

A man goes to the doctor and reports that he hasn't been feeling well.

The doctor examines him, leaves the room and comes back with three different bottles of pills. "Take the green pill with a big glass of water when you get up," the doctor says. "Take the blue pill with a big glass of water after lunch. Then, just before going to bed, take the red pill with another big glass of water." Startled to be put on so much medicine the man stammers, "My goodness, Doc, exactly what's my problem?"

The doctor looks him in the eye and says, "You're not drinking enough water."

There was a ventriloquist who'd had no work for six months.

He went to his agent and told him he needed work badly.

The agent said, "There's no call for ventriloquists, but if you were a psychic I could get you plenty of work."

So the ventriloquist went home and hung out a psychic sign.

An hour later a woman knocks on the door:

"I want to talk to my deceased husband. How much will it cost?"

The ventriloquist says, "If you talk to him, it's $50; if he talks to you, it's $100; and if you talk to each other while I'm drinking a glass of water, that's $200."

"If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church, would that get me into Heaven?" I asked the children in my Sunday School class.

"NO!" the children all answered.

"If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard, and kept everything neat and tidy, would that get me into Heaven?"

Again, the answer was, "NO!"

"Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave candy to all the children, and loved my wife, would that get me into Heaven?" I asked them again.

Again, they all answered, "NO!"

"Well, I continued, "then how can I get into Heaven?"

A child was asked to write a book report on the entire Bible.  This is amazing and brought tears of laughter to my eyes.
I wonder how often we take for granted that children understand what we are teaching???

Through the eyes of a child: The Children's Bible in a Nutshell

In the beginning which occurred near the start there was nothing but God, darkness and some gas.
The Bible says'The Lord thy God is one but I think He must be a lot older than that.

Anyway God said 'Give me a light!' and someone did. Then God made the world.

He split the Adam and made Eve.
Adam and Eve were nakedbut they weren't embarrassed because mirrors
hadn't been invented yet.

Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating one bad appleso they were driven from the Garden of Eden.
Not sure what they were driven in though because they didn't have cars.

Adam and Eve had a son Cainwho hated his brother as long as he was Abel.

Pretty soon all of the early people died off except for Methuselah who lived to be like a million or something.

One of the next important people was Noah who was a good guy but one of his kids was kind of a Ham. Noah built a large boat and put his family and some animals on it. He asked some other people to join himbut they said  they would have to take a rain check.

After Noah came Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob was more famous than his brother Esau because Esau sold Jacob his birthmark in exchange for some pot roast. Jacob had a son named Joseph who wore a really loud sports coat.

Another important Bible guy is Moses whose real name was Charlton Heston.
Moses led the Israel Lights out of Egypt and away
from the evil Pharaoh after

God sent ten plagues on Pharaoh's people. These plagues included frogs, mice, lice, bowels and no cable.

God fed the Israel Lights every day with manicotti. Then he gave them His Top Ten Commandments.
These include: don't lie, cheat, smoke, dance or covet your neighbor's stuff.

Oh yeah, I just thought of one more: Humor thy father and thy mother.

One of Moses' best helpers was Joshua who was the first Bible guy to use spies. Joshua fought the battle of Geritol and the fence fell over on the town.

After Joshua came David. He got to be king by killing a giant with a slingshot. He had a son named Solomon who had about 300 wives and 500 porcupines. My teacher says he was wise but that doesn't sound very wise to me.

After Solomon there were a bunch of major league prophets. One of these was Jonah who was swallowed by a big whale and then barfed up on the shore.  There were also some minor league prophets but I guess we don't have to worry about them.

After the Old Testament came the New Testament. Jesus is the star of The New. He was born in Bethlehem in a barn.
(I wish I had been born in a barn too because my mom is always saying to me'Close the door! Were you born in a barn?' It would
be nice to say 'As a matter of factI was.')

During His lifeJesus had many arguments with sinners like the Pharisees and the Democrats.

Jesus also had twelve opossums. The worst one was Judas Asparagus. Judas was so evil that they named a terrible vegetable after him.

Jesus was a great man. He healed many leopards and even preached to some Germans on the Mount.

But the Democrats and all those guys put Jesus on trial before Pontius the Pilot. Pilot didn't stick up for Jesus.
He just washed his hands instead.

Anyways, Jesus died for our sins, then came back to life again. He went up to Heaven but will be back at the end of the Aluminum.
His return is foretold in the book of Revolution.

"You'll never guess what happened!" he shouted. "While I was at lunch, I met old man Brown, who hasn't bought anything from us for five years.
Well, we got to talking and he gave me this half-million dollar order!"

"See," sighed the sales manager to his secretary. "I told you he'd forget the sandwiches

WORMS' MEAT, n. The finished product of which we are the raw material. The contents of the Taj Mahal, the Tombeau Napoleon and the Granitarium. Worms'-meat is usually outlasted by the structure that houses it, but "this too must pass away." Probably the silliest work in which a human being can engage is construction of a tomb for himself. The solemn purpose cannot dignify, but only accentuates by contrast the foreknown futility.

Ambitious fool! so mad to be a show!
How profitless the labor you bestow
Upon a dwelling whose magnificence
The tenant neither can admire nor know.

Build deep, build high, build massive as you can,
The wanton grass-roots will defeat the plan
By shouldering asunder all the stones
In what to you would be a moment's span.

Time to the dead so all unreckoned flies
That when your marble is all dust, arise,
If wakened, stretch your limbs and yawn ­
You'll think you scarcely can have closed your eyes.

What though of all man's works your tomb alone
Should stand till Time himself be overthrown?
Would it advantage you to dwell therein
Forever as a stain upon a stone?

The girl replied, "Whatever my Mommy tells him to do."

The cruise ship docked at a Mexican port during a very high tide. Everyone on board was forced to use the ship's narrow gangplank as a passageway to the dock far below. The staff stood motionless when a passenger in her 70s appeared at the top of the plank. There wasn't room for anyone to assist her, so she edged along slowly and finally made it to the dock safely, to everyone's relief.

As she stepped down, she turned, looked back to the top of the gangplank and shouted, "It's okay, Mother, you can come down now."

Millions of years ago, there was no such thing as the wheel. The only way to move things was by carrying or dragging. One day, some primitive guys were watching their wives drag a dead mastodon to the food preparation area. It was exhausting work. The guys were getting tired just WATCHING.

Then they noticed some large, smooth, rounded boulders and they had an idea. They could sit on the boulders and watch! This was the first in a series of breakthroughs that ultimately led to television.
