"A Good Laugh is Sunshine in a House"

That is a quote from Wm Makepeace Thackeray. Maybe his name prompted him to look into laughter as a benchmark of a healthy home (Makepeace!)

Did you know that it takes 74 muscles to frown and only 14 muscles to smile. I wish I had known that when I was younger. Just think of all the wrinkles I could have eliminated.

Ponder these words of e.e.cummings, "The most wasted of all days is one without laughter."
