Letter from the editor

LOL





L

OL is one of those abbreviation that is used everywhere. Did you know that a Canadian claims to be the first one to use it in a chat room? And here I thought it had its origins in texting.

I laugh out loud in circumstances many other people do not. If I am reading or watching a video and something strikes me as funny, I will laugh. Out loud. Sometimes at an obnoxious level if it is really funny to me. So what if I'm the only one who knows about it? It is an automatic response that I have no intentions of suppressing. I have found myself on multiple occasions being the only one in a movie theatre who is laughing.

This leads me (by a convoluted path) to the positive effects of laughing. I actually poked around the internet for some facts about laughing. Most of it was stuff I had heard before. Laughing releases endorphins in our brains. Women laugh more than men. (I had actually forgotten about that one.) Laughter helps interpersonal relationships, is good for mental health, and can help with physical health, too. According to my limited research, laughter can protect against heart disease.

Is there science to back up all these claims? Yeah, I'm not going to do scientific research for this Comedy Newsletter, but thanks for asking. It isn't going to hurt to believe these claims, even if there are not any double-blind, large sample population studies to back it up. You can find me in a darkened movie theater, laughing all by myself and staving off heart disease for another day.

From Fivesixer Author Icon
I remember Car Talk!! They also had a (syndicated, I assume) newspaper column that ran every so often. But, uhhhh, isn't cars Webbie's thing? *Laugh*
That is correct! I am not the car gal. Webbie and I have shared a chuckle or two about her car, Ruby, though.
