Hi Jeff, I have been feeling guilty about the recent criticism of jokes and humor on the list because I was the one who asked for jokes to share with a friend who has ALS. When several people pointed out that the PARKINSNlist was intended for serious subjects, I felt like a child caught giggling in church. Your posting of "Laugh at It" made me feel better. Not only is laughter good for the heart and soul, but it also good for the mind - increasing creativity and problem solving abilities. In addition laughter promotes good health and has no side effects (like dystonia or hallucinations). I realize that most members of the list enjoyed the humor, so assuming this is a democracy where the majority wins, I have another joke. I'll post it separately so those who wish to can delete.
