Emotions
Laughter Is Medicine 2 :-)
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."
Albert Einstein
Here is some “laughing matter” for a bit of comic relief, starting with Albert Einstein with whom (and just 16,438,356.16 others ;-) I (with mixed feelings) share my birthday...
Laughter Is Medicine 1 (seriously!) introduces you to the healing power of laughter, including curing “incurable” disease(!), the direct influence of emotions on the immune system, the man who “laughed his way to health” and other VIPs (very important points)...
Detailed introduction to the link between Emotions & Cancer and Healing Cancer & Your Mind, including insights and studies into the “cancer personality”, the power of thought to make ill & to heal and the crucial role of positive emotions for health maintenance and in healing cancer and other disease.
An extra tip: Go here when all else on this page leaves you cold: “Cheer yourself up”: www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~geoffo/humour/flattery.html (now only available via https://web.archive.org/web/20180104083007/www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~geoffo/humour/flattery.html but just as good :-).

THE FINAL WORD ON NUTRITION AND HEALTH
For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

A minister was asked to dinner by one of his parishioners whom he knew as being an unkempt housekeeper. When he sat down at the table, he noticed that the dishes had a film of grease to which was clinging tiny particles of dried food. "Um, Sister, did you forget to wash these dishes?"
"Pastor, they're as clean as soap and water could get them." He felt a bit apprehensive, but blessed the food anyway and started eating. The food was delicious, the appearance of the dishes notwithstanding. The Pastor was generous with his compliments, and wondered to himself if he had offended his hostess. When dinner was over, the parishioner took the dishes outside and yelled, "Here Soap! Here Water!"

I went to the U.S. Patent Office to register some of my inventions. I went to the main desk to sign in and the lady at the desk asked me what I'd invented.
I said, "A folding bottle."
She said, "Okay, what do you call it?"
"A Fottle"
"What else do you have?"
"A folding carton."
"What do you call it?" "A Farton."
She snickered and said, "Those are silly names for products and one of them sounds kind of crude."
I was so upset by her comment that I grabbed the form and left the office without telling her about my folding bucket.

A farmer in Kansas had owned a large farm for several years. He had a large pond in the back, fixed up nice; picnic tables, horseshoe courts, and some apple and peach trees. The pond was properly shaped and fixed up for swimming when it was built.
One evening the farmer decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn't been there for a while, and look it over. He grabbed a five gallon bucket to bring back some fruit. As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer he saw it was a bunch of attractive women skinny-dipping in his pond. He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end of the pond.
One of the women shouted to him, "We're not coming out until you leave!" The man frowned, "I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the pond naked." Holding the bucket up he said, "I'm here to feed the alligator."

Cook over kerosene fire at 450 degrees for about 4 weeks, or until done. Serves 3,800. (If more guests are expected, 2 rabbits may be added.

EXCERPTS FROM A CAT'S DAILY DIARY:
Day 183 of My Captivity: My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant.
Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking, almost succeeded; must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair, must try this on their bed.
Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in an attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was. Hmmm, not working according to plan.
There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary confinement throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food. More importantly, I overheard that my confinement was due to my power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.
I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant, and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time. . .

The pope had to go for a drive in his limousine.
He told the chauffeur that he wants to drive himself.
This has never happened and the chauffeur objected fearing for his job, but then he gave in and sat in the back and the pope drove -
Before long he went well above the speed limit.
The chauffeur was scared.
They were stopped by police.
The policeman took one look inside and said "just a minute please".
He went to his car, called his superior, saying:
"I stopped someone important speeding"
"Well, give him a ticket"
"But... it is someone very important"
"How important? The major?"
"No, much higher up than that"
"What — the governor?"
"No... I think... it's God"
"God!!!??? — How do you get that idea?
"Because He has the pope as his chauffeur"

SOFTWARE VS HARDWARE
MICROSOFT SHOULD MAKE CARS, GM SHOULD MAKE SOFTWARE. At a recent computer expo, Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated:
"If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving twenty-five dollar cars that got 1000 miles to the gallon."
In response to Bill's comments/General Motors issued a press release stating the following: "If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would be driving cars with the following characteristics:
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally, your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you would accept this, restart, and drive on.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart; in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Only one person at a time could use the car, unless you bought 'Car95' or 'CarNT.' Then you would have to buy more seats.
6. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was more reliable, five times as fast, and twice as easy to drive, but would only run on five percent of the roads.
7. The oil, water, temperature and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a single 'general car fault' warning light.
8. New seats would force everyone to have the same butt size.
9. The airbag system would say 'Are you sure?' before going off.
10. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
11. GM would require all car buyers to also purchase a deluxe set of Rand McNally road maps (now a GM subsidiary), even though they neither need them nor want them. Attempting to delete this option would immediately cause the car's performance to diminish by 50 per cent or more.
12. Every time GM introduced a new model, car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
13. You'd press the 'Start' button to shut off the engine.
