“Laughter is the best medicine.” It’s also my most favorite sound on the planet, especially my wife’s. Laughter is the grout of relationships. We come together with so many different experiences on the planet and bond through laughter. Even when adversity has mule kicked us in the teeth we pick ourselves up and laugh about it later. It’s a sensational aphrodisiac. And if you’re ever confused about what to do next, listen to your elders and follow Donald O’Connor’s advice in Singing in the Rain, “Make em laugh, make em laugh, make em laugh.” I express my gratitude to every fool and provider of laughter since the beginning of time. The laughter you have provided is a drug as lethal an addiction as heroin. Thank you.<\/p>\n
