psychologically laughter does make you feel better, for while and it is better to be happy than sad. being sad, miserable etc can affect your health in a negative way. Personally I was at aconference where part of the day was about laughter therapy and to be honest it got on my nerves, as you force the laughter. But for others it may be helpful. Even if you pretened something long enough it takes on its own reality.

heard about a man who had life threatening illness who bought lots of laurel and hardy films laughed himself better! laughter is the best medicine!
never heard of laughter therapy but sounds good to me!

Have heard of laughter groups where laughter is uused as a means of healing. Don't know where your find a laughter therapist though

I think it started in India. I knew an Israeli woman who used to run laughter sessions in Israel. I also understand that just moving your face muscles into a smile, whether you feel it or not, produces I don't know how many endorphins and ends up improving your mood. If you are really down and something makes you laugh (this happened to me once, watching Have I got news for you on TV) you can actually feel the chemicals in your body making you feel better. It's truly amazing.

The scene where Delboy leans on the bar and falls straight over gets me all the time, in fact I could use a bit of laughter therapy now, my assignments set by previous tutor have just been marked by new tutor............sense of humour failure at present.

Totally agree about the Delboy scene, Gaz.

Anyway, if you're having a sense of humour failure just move your face into a smile. Go on. Do it again. And again. Now a little 'hahaha hohoho'. That's it. Better already?
