Ever feel like it’s been far too long since you’ve had a good, hearty laugh? You’re not alone.
Science supports what we all inherently know—laughter really is the best medicine. It triggers the release of hormones that enhance both physical and mental health. That’s why so many make it a priority to laugh every day.
If you haven’t had your daily laugh yet, consider this your gentle nudge to get those giggles going.
Take a moment to enjoy the joke below and soak up the benefits of a good laugh. I’m not sure if you’ve come across this one before, but it was new to me, so I wanted to share it in the hopes of bringing a smile to your face.
“Hello?”, “Hi honey. This is Daddy. Is Mommy near the phone?”
“No Daddy. She’s upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul.”
After a brief pause, Daddy says, “But honey, you haven’t got an Uncle Paul.”
“Oh yes I do, and he’s upstairs in the room with Mommy right now.”
Brief Pause. “Uh, okay then, this is what I want you to do. Put the phone down on the table, run upstairs, knock on the bedroom door, and shout to Mommy that Daddy’s car just pulled into the driveway.”
“Okay Daddy, just a minute.” A few minutes later, the little girl comes back to the phone. “I did it Daddy.”
“And what happened honey?” he asked.
“Well, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of bed with no clothes on, and ran around screaming. Then she tripped over the rug, hit her head on the dresser, and now she isn’t moving at all!”
“Oh my God!!! What about your Uncle Paul?”
“He jumped out of the bed with no clothes on, too. He was all scared and he jumped out of the back window and into the swimming pool. But I guess he didn’t know that you took out the water last week to clean it. He hit the bottom of the pool and I think he’s dead.”
***Long Pause***
Then Daddy says, “Swimming pool? …. Is this 486-5731?”
