Greetings and salutations Hivers. Today I thought we’d do another installment of You Should Laugh More.

Research has shown that laughter is good for us. It has all kinds of health benefits — physical, mental, even spiritual. It lowers stress, boosts your immune system, and makes life a little more bearable.

And yet, most of us don’t laugh nearly enough.

Yeah, I know. Being an adult is rough. Add in the steady drip-feed of grim news, and it’s no wonder we’re all wound a bit tight. And that is exactly why we need to laugh more.

So here’s a little something to help with that.

A Dark Time

I had almost forgotten about this.

Brad Pit

Another AI-created meme. Not bad!

When You Finish Too Early

I remember that feeling.

Magnum PI

Kids, ask your parents.

Fearless Leader

No comment.

Trying to be clever

Not only do I remember doing this when I was in school, but I have students today who try the same thing.

Advantages of Pajamas

This meme makes an excellent point.

Women Problems

Not being a woman, I’ve never been in this situation, but I can imagine it’s a tricky problem.

*Work is Hard

On the other hand, this one has happened to me all too often.

Your Weekly Star Trek Pun

And now, your moment of Zen

What do you think? Did it get a laugh — or just an eye-roll? Either way, I’d love to hear your reaction in the comments.
