I figured we’d end the week that covered uncertain feelings with something more uplifting – laughter.<\/p>\n

The photographs of friends and acquaintances speak for themselves, I hope.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And if you have the energy in this weather to read, here is a short article on research into laughter that you might – perhaps – \u00a0find funny. \u00a0And I quote:\u00a0There is a long, semi-illustrious history of scholarly investigation into the nature of humor, from Freud\u2019s Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious, which may well be the least funny book<\/a> about humor ever written, to a British research group who claimed they had determined the world\u2019s funniest joke. Despite the fact that the researchers sampled a massive international audience in making this judgment, the winning joke revolved around New Jersey residents: A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn\u2019t seem to be breathing; his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency service. He gasps to the operator: \u201cMy friend is dead! What can I do?\u201d The operator says: \u201cTake it easy. I can help. First, let\u2019s make sure he\u2019s dead.\u201d There is silence, then a shot is heard. The guy\u2019s voice comes back on the line. He says, \u201cOK, now what?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The winning joke???????<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the things I learned to my great satisfaction is that I am not the only one who produces my own tears of laughter when telling a joke, to the point of not being able to finish it, in front of my eye-rolling family. (I have long given up trying to tell jokes in public.) Apparently a lot of people think their stuff is funny when others do not. \u00a0And yet, the laughter often brings on laughter, \u00a0as a shared social activity rather than via agreement on the intended humor.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Laughter, just like tears, is a social affair after all, helping to bond people together, and to reduce their stress hormones to improve physical well being. It is indeed the case that laughter can heal. It is also true that it is really tricky to study……<\/p>\n

as well as difficult to photograph. Hard to hold the camera still when you are infected by the joy around you.<\/p>\n
