Laugh while you can

Laugh while you can, because the minute you stop laughing, you start dying.
Today. the world is begging for a Covid-19 vaccine… and a good laugh. And not necessarily in this order.

Never mind the politically-correct naysayers. Laugh at nothing and everything, it is good medicine. Laugh at death, religion, politics, race, sex, disease… There is no taboo anymore; laugh at everything instead of wallowing in sorrow.
Laughter is universal and more powerful than the coronavirus. It is more contagious and even if you wear a mask, it will get to you.

Laughter is also highly versatile. It can seduce or destroy. When used skillfully, it can breach any wall and drive people to surrender.
The best way to seduce a woman for instance is to make her laugh. If she laughs at your jokes, she likes you and will be putty in your hands.
Marylin said it before I did.

“If you can make a woman laugh, you can make her do anything.” ― Marilyn Monroe

Laughter can also be weaponized. Make people laugh at somebody’s expense, and he/she will be hobbled for quite a while. Can you take seriously, somebody who has been mercilessly ridiculed? The present occupant of the White House ought to know.

“It has not been easy for me … My father gave me a small loan of a million dollars.” October 26, 2015, on NBC’s “TODAY” show.

This clearly demonstrates that the only way to make a small fortune is to start with a big one!

A great part of anybody’s charm is an easy laugh. Regardless of how you look, if you can make people laugh, they will take you into their hearts. If handsome (but obviously dull) Christian de Neuvilette could have made Roxane laugh, he would not have needed Cyrano.

Let’s conclude with some more laughter:

A little more determination!
One morning, a man pinched his wife’s buttocks, saying: “If you tightened that up a bit, we could get rid of your girdle and your compression stockings”
She was miffed, but she said nothing.

The next morning, he woke her up by pinching her breasts and said: “You know if you tightened that up, we could get rid of your bra.”

That was too much. She turned around, grabbed him by the penis, and said:
“You know if you tightened that up a bit, we could get rid of the gardener, the postman, the pool washer, and your brother…”
