According to HolidayInsights.com, April is National Humor month. I guess that makes sense, seeing how April 1st was the day for pranks and jokes.
Research shows that laughter is good for you. Of course, the Bible has been telling us for years (Proverbs 17)
Some of the benefits of laughter include:
*Reduces stress
*Releases negative emotions
*Helps us Relax
*Total body workout
*Strengthens our immune system
*Lowers blood pressure
*Improves respiration
*Makes us feel good.
As a writer, I love to incorporate humor into my stories. A lot of my story humor is through character sarcasm and I often wish I was better at writing general humor. We all have a sense of humor…some are dry, some sarcastic, and some just a little more wacky and twisted than others
.
So the free-for-all question today is:
WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH?

I love the unexpected things that children say, especially around age 4 or 5. They are such an inspiration.
I also like clever, understated humour that you have to pay attention to, to really catch it. Of course, I am not always paying attention!
I guess the element of surprise works in my favour…
I love the sound of laughter, I love to laugh and I love to make people laugh!
My grandchildren make me laugh, the ocean breeze makes me laugh, the sunshine through the trees makes me laugh! My heart loves to laugh!
A merry heart makes good medicine…. my cats make me laugh (usually).
I enjoy a subtle play on words, and ubderstated humor. I appreciate a mind that can come up with original jokes and puns, and wish I was better at it.I don’t enjoy practical jokes or meanness at all, such as is now being promoted in a new show on TV.
My grandchildren fill me with joy and they always make me laugh. As far as grown up things, I tend to have a dry sense of humor.
My life makes me laugh! It also makes others laugh.
I live a “Perils of Pauline” lifestyle. I titled my own ordeals, “Gloria’s Guffaws”. I seem to get into more than my share of hilarious situations because of my ding-a-ling tendencies. Hey, somebody has to help people laugh. I guess God decided I was to be one of them!
