What did one burp say to another burp?
Shh I know another way out!!!!

Under certain conditions, our body performs "rhythmic, vocalised, expiratory, and involuntary
 actions  Fifteen facial muscles contract and there is electrical stimulation of the zygomatic major muscle in particular. Currents of varying intensity, produce a wide range of facial responses. The respiratory system is upset by the epiglottis half-closing, so that air intake occurs in irregular gasps, rather than calm breaths. Under extreme circumstances, the tear ducts are activated, so that while the mouth is opening and closing and there is a struggle for a sufficient amount of oxygen intake, the face becomes moist and often red. Noises often accompany this odd behaviour ranging from controlled snickers, escaped chortles, and spontaneous giggles, to ridiculous cackles,  and noisy hoots.

A sense of humor can come in handy, whether it's for dealing with an illness, the pressures of daily living, stress, coping at work even, humor can dramatically change the quality and outlook of our lives.

We all need humor in our lives. No matter what people say, everyone needs a good laugh. Not only does it eliminate negative emotions, but it is now known that laughter is good for your helath too. The ability to laugh when you have a problem or are in a situation gives us power and a feeling of superiority. A hopeful and positive attitude is encouraged by laughter and humor.

Laughter/Health

• Laughter appears to reduce levels of certain stress hormones, and growth hormone.
• Laughter boosts the Immune System.
• Blood Pressure is lowered, and there is an increase in vascular blood flow, and an increase in oxygenation of the blood which further assists healing.
• Laughter may lead to hiccuping and coughing, which will clear the respiratory tract by dislodging mucus plugs.
• Laughter also gives your diaphragm and abdominal, respiratory and facial, leg and back muscles a workout.
• If held inside, can make biochemical changes, which effect our body. When we laugh, we are basically playing with our pain. Laughter is warm, bonding and contagious. So beware "LAUGHTER IS HAZARDOUS TO YOUR ILLNESS!"
