Laughing makes the darkness fade.

 


Today's Tids Issue 5,499 

A laugh begins with a smile: 

 

Laughter becomes painful at a frequency of 1 gigglehurts. 

 

One thing I’ m not interested in is news about the impeachment of Alejandro Mayorkas. Revenge government gets us nowhere. 

 

Music does more for me than a sunny day. 

 

Today more than ever people seem to forget those who, through diligence, intelligence, vision, thoughtfulness and determination, broke through what were always considered immovable obstacles. I think it is because it so easy now to push a button and get anything you want. Let's hear it for the daring innovators of history. Yay. 

 

The Question: 

Name six healthy things that happen when you laugh. 

 

The Headlines: 

--Techs Drive Down Markets; WS Stops Looking fFor Near Future Rate Dips. 

--Cloud Seeding Worsening Dubai Floods. 

--BBC Reports Russia has Lost Over 50,000 Soldiers. 

--60 Minutes Episode Has R the Senate Renewing Assessment of Havanna Syndrome. 

--Norton Reports Omni Hotels and Resorts Data Breach. 

Chiropractors should be hired to cure all ails, since we know laughter is the best medicine….. they really just crack you up. 

 

I guess what scares me in this world is that there is somebody out there I can't see who has no compunction about destroying me and my friends through the internet.  

 

Tom Brady is estimated to make about $18 Million this year, but he is down in the dumps. He can't afford to play with the big guys and buy an NFL team, in this instance assumed to be the LV raiders. It’s hard to believe $18Mil/Year isn't considered big money, but that ls the way it is in these inflationary times.  

 

Instead of running on a treadmill just buy a joke book, or have somebody tell you a good witty quip and then lay on the floor and laugh until you cry. 

 

BTW, Tom Brady is having a bad year. He got divorced and his TB12 Business venture folded. And he isn't featured on sports roundup programs anymore. It’s tough when the spotlight fades, regardless of money. 

 

Speaking of big money, some Tesla shareholders are saying they need to reinstate Musk’s $56 Billion Pay Package (Rejected by Delaware Judge as ridiculous compensation.). One supporter of the move says it will help incentivize him to get the company moving again. How about the incentive of trying to bring back his current net wealth of $184 Billion back up to $360 Billion where it was when things were humming. Say what? CEO’s can be as nutty as the minimum wage advocates. Tere is laughter everywhere. It just depends upon which level of the ludicrous scale you live. 

 

That said, Judges shouldn't be regulating private company compensation. 

 

Waiting on a pharmacy line would be much more enjoyable if they were dispensing the “Best Medicine”. 

 

Gas is up 30 cents in a week around her. But don't worry, they don’t count energy and food in core inflation data. 

 

My dad always said Laughter was the best medicine. Maybe that’s why my siblings all died of tuberculosis. 

 

The way I see it – The biggest chunk of Infrastructure dough just has to be going to the makers of orange barrels. And, they aren't even made of Cheese. 

 

A guy is imprisoned for his first time. On his first night, a few minutes after lights-out, his cellmate moves closer to the cell-bars. A while later, someone from another cell shouts "Number 13!". His cellmate and the entire block bursts into laughter. The new prisoner finds this strange. Shortly after they were done laughing, another inmate shouts "33!" and the entire block of inmates again started laughing. "27!" Shouted another inmate. More laughter followed. The new prisoner is now completely puzzled. "What's going on? Why is everyone laughing at numbers?" He asks the cellmate.  
"Oh!" Replied the cellmate, still giggling. "Thing is, we've been in here for so long, we told the same jokes until we eventually knew them all, so we decided to give them numbers, so that instead of saying the entire joke, you just say the number and we know which one it is!". Astonished, the new prisoner decides to see if that's true. He goes over to the cell bars and shouts "Number 72!". 
All the inmates explode into a massive laughter, and the entire block is roaring, to a point where his cellmate is now on the floor, rolling with laughter. The new prisoner is now dumbstruck and completely lost. "Which one is number 72?" He asks the cellmate. 
In between laughs, while trying to catch his breath, his cellmate replies "We've never heard that one before!" 

 

The Answer: 

Stress relief: Laughing releases endorphins, which can improve mood and reduce stress. --Improved cardiovascular health: Laughing increases blood flow and heart rate, and can burn up to 40 calories in 10–15 minutes. --Increased lung capacity: Laughing forces out stale air and allows fresh air to enter the lungs, resulting in longer exhales and more oxygen in the bloodstream. --Reduced blood pressure: Laughing improves circulation, which can lower blood pressure. --Pain relief: Endorphins released when laughing act as natural painkillers. --Increased energy: Laughing can reduce common anxiety symptoms and increase energy. 

 

How great is that! 

 

Below is one of the early hits from the Edison Cylinder Phonograph Sung by George W. Johnson was a really big song in 1898 and was recorded and re-recorded for almost 20 years after. Maybe we need more of tis today. Are you laughing yet?
