Laughter: A Mental Vacation in the FUN

August 13, 2005 by Joi Leave a Comment

It’s the weekend, which means it’s no heavy stuff here…..

In the way that a vacation to the Mountains refreshes and renews our bodies, minds, and spirits, laughter gives us a mini-vacation from our normal thought processes. And since most of our thoughts revolve around work, worry and more work – a little time away is more than just recreational, it’s essential.

Below are some examples of what can happen when a human being opens its mouth – you really never know what will come out! Even the smartest of people can say the dumbest of things.

“Sure there have been injuries and deaths in boxing – but none of them serious.” – Alan Minter, Boxer

“I think that the film Clueless was very deep. I think it was deep in the way that it was very light. I think lightness has to come from a very deep place if it’s true lightness.” – Alicia Silverstone

“This is no longer a slum neighborhood. I haven’t heard of a Cubs fan being shot in a long time.” -Anonymous Wrigley Field Neighbor, Chicago, IL

“You guys line up alphabetically by height.” – Bill Peterson, Florida State football coach

“Men, I want you just thinking of one word all season. One word and one word only: Super Bowl.” – Bill Peterson, football coach

“I get to go to lots of overseas places, like Canada.” – Britney Spears

“I invented the internet”. – Al Gore, former U.S. Vice President

“Most cars on our roads have only one occupant, usually the driver.” – Carol Malia, BBC Anchorwoman

“China is a big country, inhabited by many Chinese.” – Charles De Gaulle, former French President

“It is wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago” – Dan Quayle, former U.S. Vice-President

“I haven’t committed a crime. What I did was fail to comply with the law.” – David Dinkins, New York City Mayor, answering accusations that he failed to pay his taxes.

“The only reason we’re 7-0 is because we’ve won all seven of our games.” – David Garcia, baseball team manager

“The streets are safe in Philadelphia. It’s only the people who make them unsafe.” – Frank Rizzo, ex-police chief and mayor of Philadelphia.

“If you think it was an accident, applaud.” – Geraldo Rivera, talk show host, to his audience on Natalie Wood’s drowning

“I cannot tell you how grateful I am — I am filled with humidity.” – Gib Lewis, speaker of the Texas House

“I don’t diet. I just don’t eat as much as I’d like to.” – Linda Evangelista, Supermodel

“Pitching is 80% of the game. The other half is hitting and fielding.” – Mickey Rivers, baseball player

“If only faces could talk…” – Pat Summerall, Sportscaster, during the Super Bowl

Make every laugh count double,
