Laughter, The best medicine

August 24, 2008

So many of our health issues today  are caused by our worries and troubles.   There is much evidence that shows humor and a cheerful heart work like medicine but without the cost.  It even goes beyond healing the sick to prevention of so many illnesses caused by worry, anger and other feelings that turn inward.

Jokes

Blank Tape

Last Night I played a blank tape at full blast. The mime next door went nuts.

Ham Bush

Two Starving Men are wandering in the desert when in the distance they see a tree, apparently covered in bacon strips. One of the men dashes towards it, but is shot.

As he expires he gasps to his companion, “Don’t come any closer. It’s not a bacon tree. It’s a ham bush”

Cicumcision

A woman came into my office to schedule a circumcision for her husband.  After the procedure, she questioned, “Are you sure he won’t have no babies now?”

“Mrs. X., he had a circumcision, not a vasectomy.”

“Damn! That’s the word I was looking for.” (From Weekly Medical Bloopers - March 9)
