New studies are showing that as soon as youâre born you start dying, so you might as well have a good time.
Just like many things it follows a hormetic response â the dose makes the poisonâŚ
I wonder some times if my childhood asthma attacks drove me to a strong preference for dry humor.
That that, Readerâs Digest.
TPTB must be in big trouble if declaring laughter unlawful and unhealthy.
I wonder whatâll happen if voice actor Rob Paulsen gets wind of this.
I cracked a joke in a moving vehicle that nearly killed us all from the laughter and inability of the driver too steer properly.

I was unexpectedly in hospital with a tube in my chest, a long time ago, and I asked the missus to bring me âsome funny booksâ to pass the time.
Donât read âShave the Whalesâ for the first time when trying to recover from a collapsed lung. The tube turns bright red.
Headlineâs a bit misleadingâŚ
âToo muchâ is just another way of saying âbad for youâ.

Iâd like to point out here, in case anyone took the article too seriously, the Christmas week BMJ is traditionally full of tongue-in-cheek articles of silliness, written in a serious scientific style

Just an anecdote that proves nothing: I lose consciousness instantly if I laugh at something unexpected and really funny. I drop like Iâve been pole-axed and Iâm out cold for a few seconds. I only realize it has happened after the fact. Apparently my condition is called laughter syncope. Iâm guessing Iâll probably die laughing. Hopefully I wonât take anyone else with me.
Needless to say, I donât drive often, and I avoid NPR and bumper stickers when I do.
Sorry, I immediately had an image of you laughing at fainting goats⌠An endless loop of fainting as you startle them and they amuse you.
