Honesty

A distinguished young woman on a flight from Switzerland asked the priest beside her, "Father, may I ask a favor?"

"Of course. What may I do for you?"

"Well, I bought an expensive! Electronic hair dryer that is well over the Customs limits and I'm afraid they'll confiscate it. Is there any way you could carry it through Customs for me? Under your robes perhaps?"

"I would love to help you, dear, but I must warn you: I will not lie."

"With your honest face, Father, no one will question you."

When they got to Customs, she let the priest go ahead of her. The official asked, "Father, do you have anything to declare?"

"From the top of my head down to my waist, I have nothing to declare."

The official thought this answer strange, so asked, "And what do you have to declare from your waist to the floor?"

"I have a marvelous little instrument designed to be used on a woman, but which is, to date, unused."

Roaring with laughter, the official said, "Go ahead, Father - - Next!"

Why Invest in Laughter

It is impossible to worry while you're laughing.


Humor cuts stress levels in half.


Laughing helps you to stay happy and healthy and helps you return to good health when ill.


Laughter increases, by 20%, the activity of killer cells within the body which serve to destroy viruses and tumor cells.


Train yourself to look for the comedy in your chaos.


A sense of humor is the number one survival skill.


George Bernard Shaw once said, "When you find something funny search it for hidden truth."


"The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient while nature cures the disease." Voltaire


Humor helps us cope, conquer, and carry on.


A good laugh is not only the result of humor, it is often also the cause.


The body heals with play, the mind heals with laughter and the spirit heals with joy.


The best exercise is jumping for joy.


"Joy is the serious business of heaven." C.S. Lewis.


We begin to solve our problems when we begin to see the humor in them.


"Time spent laughing is time spent with the gods." Japanese proverb.


When we feel like laughing the least , we need it most.


If it feels good to laugh, then laugh to feel good.


A sense of humor is not inherited, it is learned.

The Problem was who should get custody of the child.

The wife screamed and jumped up and said: "Your Honor. I brought The child into the world with all the pain and labor.

The child Should be in my custody."

The judge turned to the husband and said: "What do you have to Say in your defense?"

The man sat for a while contemplating. ..then slowly rose. "Your Honor... If I put a dollar in a Pepsi Vending Machine and a Pepsi Comes out...

Whose Pepsi is it... The machine's or mine?"
