Laughter is an outward expression of amusement, mirth and at times, other emotions[1]. It may ensue (as a physiological reaction) from jokes, tickling and others. Inhaling nitrous oxide can also induce laughter; other drugs, such as cannabis, can also induce episodes of strong laughter. Strong laughter can sometimes bring an onset of tears or even moderate muscular pain as a physical response to the act. Laughter can also be a response to physical touch, such as tickling, or even to moderate pain such as pressure on the ulnar nerve ("funny bone").
Laughter is a part of human behaviour regulated by the brain. It helps humans clarify their intentions in social interaction and provides an emotional context to our conversations. Laughter is used as a signal for being part of a group — it signals acceptance and positive interactions. Laughter is sometimes seemingly contagious and the laughter of one person can itself provoke laughter from others. This may account in part for the popularity of laugh tracks in situation comedy television shows.
Laughter is also an excellent medicine.
SO ALWAYS KEEP SMILING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well as said Laughter is the best medicine
but indeed many people have forgot to laugh these days
its just limited to a plastic smile thats it!
But then it doesnt go for me
I can laugh sometimes for many reasons but at the other times for no reason at all
A smile on someone else's face can even bring a smile on your face
And it takes a few muscles to laugh than to cry
best of all its the only medicine thats for free

Laughing is one of my favorite things to do. I even laugh when things are going bad because it helps relieves the tension. I totally think laughter is contagious and I love cathcing it and spreading it. Laughing every day keeps me sane, or at least as sane as I can be.

Laughter is my middle name. My motto is Laugh and the world laughs with you.....to which I always add..snore and you sleep alone. My goal is life is to make people laugh. Laughter is the best medicine. I don't care if they laugh at me....that way they leave others in peace. Without laughter in my day is like the sky at night with no moon. Thank you for your dissertation on laughter I hope many people answer this discussion....they can learn something that perhaps they didn't know already. Have a nice day and let a smile be your umbrella on a rainy day.

I love it when I laugh so hard I can barely breathe. That's the best, seriously, even though you kind of feel like a jackass while it is happening!

A horse and a chicken are playing in a meadow. The horse falls into a mud hole and is sinking. He calls to the chicken to go and get the farmer to help pull him out to safety. The chicken runs to the farm but the farmer can't be found. So he drives the farmer's Mercedes back to the mud hole and ties some rope around the bumper. He then throws the other end of the rope to his friend, the horse, and drives the car forward saving him from sinking!
A few days later, the chicken and horse were playing in the meadow again and the chicken fell into the mud hole. The chicken yelled to the horse to go and get some help from the farmer. The horse said, "I think I can stand over the hole!" So he stretched over the width of the hole and said, "Grab for my 'thingy' and pull yourself up." And the chicken did and pulled himself to safety.
The moral of the story:
If you are hung like a horse, you don't need a Mercedes to pick up chicks.
I;M LAUGHING ALREADY XD hahahaa :D hope u like the joke

At a time, when Akbar was given a bad time by Maharan Pratap Singh's valient army and Akbar was unable to do something to them. To make Pratap down he hanged a portrait of Maharana Pratap's outside his lavatory.
Birbal was passing.... suddenly he saw the picture. Shocked at Akbar for this mean act he thought of teaching him a lesson.
When Akbar was resting in his Harem with his Rani's, Suddenly, Birbal came... holding Akbar's pulse in his hand...
He asked ' Jahapanah ab aap ki tabiyat kaise hai?' ( How are you now ? )
Akbar said,' Kyon, mujhe kya hua? ' ( What happened to me ?)
Birbal: After seeing Maharana Pratap's portrait outside your lavatory, I thought, you probably suffer from constipation and seeing his picture helps you in clearing your motion !!!
And Badshaah was totally balled over :-)

No, I've never forgotten to laugh when ever I am supposed to do so. I know that laughter is the only exercise which is worthy to our body with no cost provided. And that's why I don't even forget to make others.
