“Try as much as possible to be wholly alive, with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell and when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. ..” William Saroyan
A dose of rib tickling laughter never fails to shift our mood and warm our blood. We can't say enough about how laughter is a natural life prolonging elixir; particularly a good and hearty laugh. I admire comedians. They spend a lifetime entertaining the rest of us with their wry observations of human behavior in what we typically call - a joke. I love jokes and my friends and family send them to me quite often... I get every kind of joke you can imagine; salty, silly, outrageous and sweet. Some you just can't publish. Others make you wonder; how did they come up with that?
As you might have guessed, this week's prompt from MamaKat's Writing Workshop includes a question on laughter. 3.) Describe the last thing that made you laugh really hard. Since I get a lot of jokes by email from my family and closest friends, I knew where to go for a recent reference point. I sifted through the laugh-out-loud material I have in my collection and I selected three that had me in stitches; a story, a poem and a card or report of sorts... you'll see. I got them from friends and family and, fortunately, I have found out the origins of two of the jokes. The card format came by email so If you know the origin, let me know as I'll gladly give the right attribution.
