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 first divorce directly related to the September 11th terrorist attacks has been filed in NY court.
It appears a guy with an office on the 103rd floor of the World Trade Center left home for work on Sept. 11. When he got to Manhattan, he decided to spend the morning at his girlfriend's apartment in the Village. When he got to her place, he turned off the phones, TV and radio and spent the entire morning in bed with her. At about 11:00 am, while still at her place, he turned his cell phone back on to retrieve his messages. A second later it rang.

His wife was on the phone crying and screaming at him, "I've been trying to call you for over two hours!! I've been worried sick about you! Are you OK?!?"

He answered calmly that he was fine.

The wife then asked, "Where are you?"

The guy said, "Where do you think I am? I'm in my office!"

A pilgrim e-mailed a hotel nearby the temple to ask its location.

Physio was an intelligent boy. After doing a physiotherapy course abroad for 3 years, he returned home and set up a clinic in his hometown. He asked a designer to make a new name plate to be hung on the wall outside the clinic.

The next morning, when he went to his clinic, he was pleased to find that the name plate was already put up. But he was greatly annoyed by the wordings on the plate:TUKANG URUT.

He went to the designer and took him to task. "How can you insult my profession? 'Tukang Urut' means masseur in Malay.

I am a physiotherapist and not a masseur! Make sure you change the name right now! And see that the word is spelt correctly!" Physio said angrily.The designer apologized and promised to make the change immediately.

Without further delay, he proceed to change the name but found that the word "physiotherapist' was too long. So he broke it up into three words to make it easier to read.

The next morning, Physio hit the roof when he saw the new name. On the name plate were written : PHYSIO THE RAPIST

An old woman came into her doctor's office and confessed to an embarrassing problem. "I pass air all the time, Doctor Joshi, but they're soundless, and they have no odor. In fact, since I've been here, I've passed air no less than twenty times. What can I do?"

"Here stand by the window, and please take this prescription to the chemist, Mrs. Agarwal. Take these pills three times a day for seven days and come back and see me in a week."

Next week an upset Mrs. Agarwal marched into Dr. Joshi's office. "Doctor, I don't know what was in those pills, but the problem is worse! I'm passing air just as much, but now they smell terrible! What do you have to say for yourself?"

"Calm down, Mrs. Agarwal," said the doctor soothingly. "Now that we've fixed your sinuses, next we'll work on your hearing!!!"


Did you ever wonder?

A businessman had a tiring day on the road around Bombay. He checked into The Taj Intercontinential hotel in Calaba (Gateway to India) and, because he was concerned that the dining room might close soon, left his luggage at the front desk and went immediately to eat.

After a leisurely dinner, he reclaimed his luggage and realized that he had forgotten his room number. He went back to the desk and told the clerk on duty,
"My name is Srininvasan Narasimhaswamy, could you please tell me what room I am in?"

"Certainly," said the clerk. "You're in the lobby."



"I've really had it with my dog.  He'll chase anyone on a bike."

"So what are you going to do--leave him at the pound? Sell him?"

"No, nothing that drastic.  I'll just take away his bike."


A little boy walked up to the librarian to check out a book entitled "COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE FOR MOTHERS."

When the librarian asked him if it was for his mother, he answered, "No."

An old man was dying.

On his deathbed, he looked up and said: "Is my wife here?"

"Yes, dear, I'm here, next to you.."

"Are my children here?"

"Yes, daddy, we are all here?" say the children.

"Are my other relatives also here?"

And they say: "Yes, we are all here..."

The old man sits up slowly and pensively says: "Then why the heck is the light on in the kitchen?"

Here's an interesting statistic:

One that you might want to bring with you next time your Doc makes you wait two hours to get in to see him :

Number of physicians in the U.S.
700,000

Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year
120,000

Accidental deaths per physician
0.171

Number of gun owners in the U.S.
80,000,000

Number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age
groups)
1,500

Accidental deaths per gun owner
0.0000188

Therefore, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

The four liquid stages of life


Mr. Jones gets a call from the hospital. They tell him his wife's been in a terrible car accident. He rushes to the hospital, runs in to the ER and says his wife's been in an accident. They tell him Dr. Smith is handling the case.

They page the doctor. He comes out to the waiting room to see a terribly upset Mr. Jones. "Mr. Jones?" the doctor asks.

"Yes sir, what's happened? How is my wife?"

The doctor sits next to him and says, "Not good news. Your wife's accident resulted in two fractures of her spine."

"Oh my God" says Mr. Jones, "what will be her prognosis?"

"Well, Mr. Jones, her vital signs are stable. However, her spine is inoperable. She'll have no motor skills or capability. This means you will have to feed her." Mr. Jones begins to sob. "And you'll have to turn her in her bed every two hours to prevent pneumonia."

Mr. Jones begins to wail and cry loudly. "Then, of course," the doctor continued, "you'll have to diaper her as she'll have no control over her bladder and of course these diapers must be changed at least five times a day."

Mr. Jones begins to shake as he cries, sobs, wails. The doctor continues: "And you'll have to clean up her faeces on a regular basis as she'll have no control over her sphincter. Her bowel will engorge whenever and quite often I'm afraid, Of course you must clean her immediately to avoid accumulation of the putrid effluent she'll be emitting regularly."

Now Mr. Jones is convulsing sobbing uncontrollably and beginning to wither off the bench into a sobbing pitiful mass.

Just then Dr. Smith reaches out his hand and pats Mr. Jones on the shoulder.

"Hey, I'm just playing with you man, she's dead"

PREFERENCE, n. A sentiment, or frame of mind, induced by the erroneous belief that one thing is better than another.

An ancient philosopher, expounding his conviction that life is no better than death, was asked by a disciple why, then, he did not die.
"Because," he replied, "death is no better than life."

It is longer.

.......more optical illusions and paradigm twists here:

The world champion crossword puzzler died yesterday. In a quiet ceremony, he was buried six down and three across.



PREHISTORIC, adj. Belonging to an early period and a museum. Antedating the art and practice of perpetuating falsehood.

He lived in a period prehistoric,
When all was absurd and phantasmagoric.
Born later, when Clio, celestial recorded,
Set down great events in succession and order,
He surely had seen nothing droll or fortuitous
In anything here but the lies that she threw at us.
Orpheus Bowen

Devil's Dictionary, Ambrose Bierce

A scientist from India, after a lengthy study, has discovered that people with "IBA" or Insufficient Brain Activity,
sat at the computer and read their email with their hand constantly on the mouse.



A woman went to the doctor's office where she was seen by one of the younger doctors. After about four minutes in the examination room, she burst out, screaming as she ran down the hall. An older doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was and she told him her story. After listening, he had her sit down and relax in another room.

The older doctor marched down the hallway to the back where the young doctor was writing on his clipboard. "What's the matter with you?" the older doctor demanded. "Mrs. Reid is 62 years old, has four grown children and seven grandchildren--and you told her she was pregnant?"

The younger doctor continued writing and without looking up said, "And does she still have the hiccups?"

This is so funny that it will confuse your mind. And you will keep trying at least 50 more times to see if you can outsmart your foot, but you can't!

1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction.
