While I pledge, in these challenges, to use a title submitted by a reader/heckler, I shall admit that I simply felt as though this title should be modified. Therefore, instead of the title "The Uniqueness of Laughs" that was suggested, I have modified it to the title actually displayed. Nevertheless, this post would never have occurred had it not been for the imaginative talents of one Megan "Yo" Trantham. So, without further ado, it is my great pleasure to present to you, my readers,
The Necessity Of Laughs
A snort, a chortle, a chuckle, a crow. Can anyone truly describe the divine beauty of a laugh? Is there a more beautiful sound than a free, uninhibited cachinnation? I dare say not. A laugh is an honest expression of mirth, joy, peace, beatitude, and felicity. No matter the nature of a laugh, it sends both the producer and the hearer of the harmony into celestial rapture.
All these are undeniable facts. I however, would like to posit the concept that such an intonation is absolutely essential to life itself. Studies conducted by the B.R.A.I.N.* demonstrate that frequent verbal show of merriment has the ability to lengthen your life by as much as 20.57389 years (180217.5164 hours). Also, in a study conducted by the combined efforts of B.R.A.I.N. and G.E.N.I.U.S. Society,** subjects between the ages of 17 and 49 who experienced intense laughter at least twice a week were shown to have increased IQ scores of up to 23 points when compared to their less-mirthful peers. There were also shown to have increased happiness, satisfaction in life, financial stability, SLQ (Sustainable Living Quotient), and weight loss (up to 94 pounds in some subjects).
How can you see these results? Well, it's not by sitting on your couch with a Monster and a bag Doritos watching reruns of Whose Line Is It Anyway, I can tell you that! No siree!
