Have You Had Your Laugh Today?

This past weekend, I was able to watch a dear friend get married. At the reception she had everyone fill out a page to a memory book that she will put together. One of the requests was to write down some advice for the bride and groom. I noticed that the advice of the person next to me read, "Laugh often." So simple, yet probably the best advice, in my opinion.

I truly believe that there is nothing better in life than a good laugh! There is no better sound in the world than laughter. Perhaps the sweetest is a baby's little giggle. When I was younger a friend and I would laugh by changing the vowels, which would make us laugh even harder. So, we would try the whole spectrum of "Ha's." (ie: "Ha, Hee, Ho, Hoo") Try this next time you feel like laughing, I guarantee it will provide several more minutes of entertainment.

Recently, I received an email that was similar to Jay Leno's "Headlines" bit. Here are a few of my favorites with brief commentary from yours truly:

I too, dress up when I go to the Wal-Mart.

Phew! The cat got what it deserved!

Umm...Great! Good for you!

They'd better be a good bargain!

I wonder how that conversation went...

"We had no idea anyone was buried there." Umm...it's a mausoleum!

This just may be my new worst fear. Isn't it public record?

That would be my first thought, too! Surely, they were stolen! On the bright side, at least they didn't steal her new credit card.

"Oh where, oh where can it be..."

25, huh?

Who said there's no such thing as a stupid question?

My mind is blank or my brain is empty, whichever is worse.

Since I thought these were so funny, I decided to search the web for things that make me laugh. I had remembered a website I used to frequent several years ago called http://www.engrish.com/ where I found this picture: http://www.engrish.com/2009/03/its-around-here-somewhere/

Then I remembered how church bulletins have a way of making me laugh as well, so I decided to search for some. Here are a few little gems:

Thursday at 5:00 PM, there will be a meeting of the Little Mothers Club. All ladies wishing to be "Little Mothers" will meet with the Pastor in his private study.

At the evening service tonight, the sermon topic will be "What is hell?" Come early and listen to our choir practice.

The ladies of the church have cast off clothing of every kind. They can be seen in the church basement Saturday.

Tuesday at 4 p.m. there will be an ice cream social. All ladies giving milk will please come early.

Ladies Bible Study will be held Thursday morning at 10. All ladies are invited to lunch in the Fellowship Hall after the B.S. is done.

The church is glad to have with us today as our guest minister the Rev. Shirley Green, who has Mrs. Green with him. After the service we request that all remain in the sanctuary for the Hanging of the Greens.

Missionary from Africa speaking at Calvary Memorial Church in Racine. Name: Bertha Belch. Announcement: Come tonight and hear Bertha Belch all the way from Africa".

The Associate Minister unveiled the church's new tithing campaign slogan last Sunday: "I upped My Pledge----Up Yours."

"Wise Up, O Men of God". Smile at someone who is hard to love. Say "hell" to someone who doesn't care much about you.

Finally, I have decided to post my Youtube Funny Of The Day. This is a video that just makes me happy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsWrY77o77o

Enjoy and laugh often!
