People say laughter is the best medicine for a few good reasons. It is known to provide potential therapeutic relief for physiological ailments, alleviate stress, and lower anxiety levels.
It is the ultimate feel-good drug that requires no prescription. All you need is an online resource like the Funny Instagram account to help you snap out of a funk and feel better.
The profile description says it all: “Laughter is our language,” expressed through memes and social media ramblings about daily life. You may encounter posts poking fun at romantic relationships, dishwashing methods, and parenting problems.
We’ve compiled some posts to create this list for you to enjoy, whether you’re killing time at the DMV or taking a short break at work. And if you’re feeling down, hopefully, this can be a good pick-me-up.

Laughter’s plausible benefits are backed up by research. A report published by the American Physiological Society revealed that “mirthful laughter” may increase endorphins by 27% and human growth hormones by 87%. It was also found to be a “preventive adjunct therapy” for diabetes care.

We never did go for them, we just never got a word in to politely explain that we aren't available.
In simpler terms, here’s an explanation from Harvard Medical School faculty member Natalie Datillo: the brain’s reward system goes offline when not activated regularly. She describes laughter as the “most cost-effective way” to get it back up and running.
Studies also show that these perceived benefits are magnified when another individual is involved. According to researchers, the arousal likely comes from validating emotions brought on by shared laughs.

I don't think they will reproduce, they can't get a car in a space how on earth will they get their 'mini' in the right spot.
Many people recognize the power of laughter—so much so that a variation of yoga is centered around it.
Laughter yoga practices the same breathing exercises to keep the body present and calm. As the name suggests, it involves giggles and silly movements between breaths.

A study published in the Journal of Epidemiology provides verifiable evidence on laughter yoga. The findings revealed that people who practiced it for 12 consecutive weeks showed a lowered risk for metabolic syndrome.
Throughout the experiment, participants also showed reduced excess body weight, stress, and body mass index.

F***ing hotels. What kind of BS is it that you have to pay for parking at a hotel? What do you think I did, walk 300 miles to get here?!
Tragedy and comedy have long been linked together. Studies have shown that humor can be an effective tool in dealing with and even deflecting trauma.
The researchers who wrote this 2015 journal article found that healthy humor styles may help shift perspectives from a traumatic event. Serious matters can become more lighthearted without minimizing the gravity of the situation. Instead, it helps regulate stress.

I swear there is a team of slow and omnipresent drivers out there that tag team stalking me. Most of them drive Subarus. But all of them have armor piercing headlights. I curse them with all of my hatred for having the audacity to also be traveling by car in my general vicinity.

It's on my to-do list. Actually, it's on several of my to-do lists, but most are buried under papers on my desk. Or in the stack of papers on the table. Or maybe on the chair next to my desk. I'll add "look for other to-do lists" to this to-do list.

And then I couldn’t text you because I realised I hadn’t answered your previous text and now I’m just waiting until I run in to you at the supermarket so we can laugh about it and start over?

It doesn't really matter what the rules are, as long as everyone knows what they are and agrees to play by them.

My daughter asked me why I don't come running to check on her when I hear her falling down the stairs anymore. I told "unless I hear a blood curling screem, me yelling and asking if she's ok is usually sufficient by now". For clarification, her falls are usually just sliding down on her butt because she runs up and down.

Soldiers don't stay gone for 3 years straight. They get leave. Likely the pregnancy happened while he was home during leave.

there's always the chance this was in-vitro. he may have known he was incapable and she got the money together for IVF while he was away. gotta have some hope, right?

Perhaps they had been trying to conceive and were receiving fertility treatments before he left. They can put his "stuff" into storage for later use. Then the wife wants to surprise him, so she goes back to the doc about 9 or so months before he's due to return. Either that or it's not his baby.

She obviously held on to the baby until he came home, which was thoughtful of her.

He was definitely too dumb to be in the military. This looks like a set-up.

At one of my jobs an applicant in his mid 40s brought his mum. He didn't get the job, but that's mostly because he also wore a shirt open to the waist and put his feet on the desk mid interview.

While the answers are vastly different, they could be easily mistaken for each other if you were in a hurry, especially if you worked it out on paper and saw this as the first possible answer.
