I was in the lunchroom this morning when I suddenly realized that I desperately needed to fart. The music was really, really loud, so I timed my farts with the beat.

After a couple of songs, I started to feel better. I finished my coffee, stood up and noticed that everybody was staring at me.

Then I suddenly remembered that I was listening to my iPod.

A friend sent me this joke this week and every time I read it, I laugh out loud. Potty humour, I know, but it makes me smile. Partly because when he sent it I didn’t know that it was a joke, until he wrote “Just kidding” at the end of the email. It makes me wonder though, if he was actually kidding or not

Life isn’t meant to be taken so seriously. When’s the last time you had a rolling on the floor laughfest? I think that it’s time to find the laughter again for the 27^th Day of our Just For Today Challenge – 31 Days To A Better You.

The most wasted of all days is one without laughter. e. e. cummings

I agree – it’s such a waste of day if you didn’t find something to laugh about today. What are you going to do to find the humour today?

Do you have a best bud that when you get together all you do is make each other laugh? Call that person up on the phone, or better yet, see them in person and spend some time together having a good time today. See who can make each other laugh the most today. I have a couple of friends who share the same wicked humour as myself and it’s such a fun time when we get together.

Are you a animation-aholic, like me? I can sit for hours watching an animation marathon. It doesn’t matter if they’re repeats, either. Check out if there are any episodes of The Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, The Cleveland Show, King of the Hill, or South Park are on today (I bet you that you can find an episode somewhere today) and sit and watch the cartoon antics of your favourite characters. If animation isn’t your fancy, then watch some other comedy show that makes you laugh out loud. I don’t care for particularly those gag or punked shows on TV, but plenty of people do. Whatever makes you laugh.

What’s your favourite comedy? Why not watch that movie again today?  Make some popcorn, pop in that DVD, and be entertained by the antics on the screen. If you have someone to share the movie with, even better. Don’t worry if your favourite comedy is Superbad or The Three Amigos, if it makes you laugh out loud then it’s a great comedy and has done its job.

Can’t find anything on TV or in your DVD collection that you find funny? Start surfing the net for funny jokes, YouTube clips, online comic strips, and comedy blogs. Some truly great ones are out there, you just have to find them. When you do, spend some time reading and laughing out loud. You’ll feel so much better afterwards.

My Mom got a cat last year. That cat had some kittens and have they ever revitalized my Mom’s moods. When she’s not yelling at them to get off the furniture, she’s laughing at their antics. I can tell how much better she sounds when we talk on the phone. There’s a lightness in her voice that wasn’t there before. Besides being company for her, they make her laugh. She has bad arthritis so laughing releases endorphins in her body and results in a natural pain-reliever. It’s made a big difference in her life. I know that laughing more can make a big difference in your life, too, if only Just For Today. 

It’s okay to be silly once in a while. Life can be serious sometimes, but we can still find the humour in our every day. Laughing can also put things into perspective. Just remember that it’s okay to laugh with someone and never at someone.
