"Laugh Your Head Off"
Post on: October 12, 2021
We all can attest to feeling rejuvenated after watching Mr Bean or some light-hearted movies. We may feel defeated by life’s struggle; however, watching a comedy, so effortlessly lifts our sagging spirits.
There is some scientific truth in the much oft-used cliche, “Laughter is the best medicine”. Studies show that laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.
Some postulate that we need not spend a fortune popping pills to relive our pain — laughter is nature’s pain reliever. Amongst our friends, those who have a sense of humour deal with setbacks more easily. They roll with adversity’s punches when they come and recover more quickly. I am sure we can testify to seeing such traits amongst some friends.
“Jolly Good Times” has compiled some hilarious sayings to tickle your funny bone — absorb them and unleash them at the opportune moment to smooth-talk your way out of any sticky situation.

Life is funny — let’s not take life too seriously. By laughing at ourselves, we tend to be more endearing. For the sceptics, this hilarious quotation could be an impetus to laugh more often — “It is bad to suppress laughter. It goes back down and spreads to your hips,” — Fred Allen.
Do not hold back your laughter. Laughter, unlike money, will not diminish if you share it. And neither does this Jolly Good Times’ article — share it with your kakis (buddies). Invite them to Like our Facebook and webpage.
