Humor is one of the most powerful free tools you can use manage stress and your health. When Freud studied humor he concluded it was the most advance human mechanism for simultaneously decreasing pain and gaining pleasure. Today humor is used as therapy and theorist agree that humor has medicinal effects meaning it can be used as medicine in some cases. Studies show humor promotes mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being
An article written several years ago in Psychology Today says that the average person laughs about 15 times a day. Considering all the stress most people are under today in the 21st Century I bet that quota should be raised to around 30 times a day.
To help with your laugh quota here is one of Readers Digest 30 funniest jokes in the world. But I must warn you if you don't find this joke funny it might be an indication you have a humor deficiency and require either counseling or medication. So here is the joke:
A priest, a minister, and a rabbi want to see who's best at his job. So they each go into the woods, find a bear, and attempt to convert it. Later they get together. The priest begins: "When I found the bear, I read to him from the Catechism and sprinkled him with holy water. Next week is his First Communion."
"I found a bear by the stream," says the minister, "and preached God's Holy Word. The bear was so mesmerized that he let me baptize him."
They both look down at the rabbi, who is lying on a gurney in a body cast. "Looking back," he says, "maybe I shouldn't have started with the circumcision."
