A Good Sense of Humor is Essential to Survive

The world lost George Carlin last night. Whether or not you liked his comedy, and I recently came to appreciate it, you cannot deny the value of a good laugh. Laughing is supposed to keep us young. It's been medically proven that laughing - a real belly laugh - brings essential oxygen into your body. More importantly, laughing reduces stress, for free. It doesn't get any more Simple, Simple than this.

Personally, I would rather see a nightly venue of stand-up comedians on TV than the endless parade of medications designed to help you sleep, improve digestion, and help with depression.

Thanks, George for the many years of healthful laughter and mind provoking thought! Rest in peace.
