Laughter Therapy - its no joke:
http://www.healthlibrary.com/reading/yod/march98/news.htm

'Hasya' or humour, created using either a situation or a behaviour-mode, easily reveals in dialogues and gestures during a play but a difficult theme for a sculpture or painting. There are, however, some excellent examples of 'Hasya' in pictoral art also and these days in cartoons. Besides caricatures and 'bhangeris'-type characters, myths, legends or stories are also used for depicting humour. For example Lord Shiva is camping with Parvati under a tree in the forest. As Shiva is adorned with serpents, a serpent, drapes across the otherwise naked form of Shiva like a loincloth, is covering his private parts. Hearing of him being there under the tree, Lord Vishnu, along with Garuda, His faithful vehicle, comes to pay him homage. The snake, as soon as it sees the bird carrier Garuda, his natural enemy, abandons Shiva leaving him all exposed and naked and flees into an anthill. It is humour by situation. Deliberate tricks and or sarcasm, usually bringing forth the philosophy and culture, sometimes in Krishna-related themes, are also used for creating humour.

FOR YOUR INTEREST: This one is not a joke but I thought you might like to know. These are the names of Lord Caitanya taken from the book "Sri Caitanya Sahasra Nama Stotra", i.e. "A Thousand Names of Lord Caitanya" by Srila Kavi Karnapura (as translated by HG Kusakratha Prabhu from the Krsna Institute)...

        So Lord Caitanya is known as the one:

 - hasya-kari  &  hasya-yuk  ==> who laughs & jokes

 - hasya-priya  ==> who is fond of joking

 - hasya-nagara ==> who is the hero of those expert in speaking joking words

 - hasya-grami  &  hasya-kara  ==> is expert at joking

 - pushpa-hasa  ==> whose smile & laugh are as charminng as flowers.

Lord Gauranga's smiling & laughing qualities ki...

                                                ys Radhe Govinda dasa

P.S. One of the qualities of Srimati Radharani is that she is very expert in the art of joking.

A priest, a minister, and a rabbi were all sitting at a table, finishing dinner and discussing theology. Suddenly an angel appeared before them.

"I have been sent to grant each of you one wish," he said. "Who will go first?"

The catholic priest stood up.

"I wish for the destruction of all Protestants!"

Then the protestant minister bolted up.

"I wish for the destruction of all Catholics!"

The rabbi kept seated, so the angel asked, "How about you? What do you wish for, Rabbi?"

The rabbi answered, "Well, if you're going to grant their wishes, I'll just settle for another cup of coffee."



The Three Blind Elephants and the Human

The World Wide Web

CYBERSPACE, July 28, 2007: Three blind elephants were discussing what humans look like.
One said, "Let's touch one and find out." So the first elephant went over and touched the human. Then the second and third touched him.

The first elephant said, "Humans are flat."

The second and third elephants said, "We agree."

In unscientific testing, it has been found about 1 in 20 people don't get this joke. If you're one of them, just ask a friend for help.

"Granmps, I'm really proud of you," said six year old Little Balvinder to his grandfather.

"You are? ... Why?" asked the older man.

Balvinder replied, "I noticed that when you sneeze, you've learned to put your hand in front of your mouth."

"Of course I have," the old fellow said. "How else do you expect me to catch my false teeth?"



From the Met Office

Although he was a qualified meteorologist, Hopkins ran up a terrible record of forecasting for the TV news program. He became something of a local joke when a newspaper began keeping a record of his predictions and showed that he'd been wrong almost three hundred times in a single year. That kind of notoriety was enough to get him fired. He moved to another part of the country and applied for a similar job. One blank on the job application called for the reason for leaving his previous position. Hopkins wrote, "The climate didn't agree with me."


Moses at the games again


A preacher was called upon to substitute for the regular minister, who had failed to reach the church because he was delayed in a snowstorm.

The speaker began by explaining the meaning of substitute. "If you break a window," he said, "and then place cardboard there instead, that is a substitute."

After the sermon, a woman who had listened intently shook hands with him and wishing to compliment him actually said,
"You were no substitute. You were a real pane."

The mother of a large family was explaining why she dresses her children alike, right down to the youngest baby.

"When we had just four children, I dressed them alike so we wouldn't lose any of them."

"Now," she added, looking around at her brood of nine, "I dress them alike so we won't pick up any others that don't belong to us."

Joginder Singh was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was really angry.
She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 220 in 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE!!"

The next morning Joginder got up early and left for work.
When his wife woke up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box gift -- wrapped in the middle of the driveway.

Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway and brought the box back in the house.
She opened it and found a brand new set of bathroom scales.

Joginder Singh has been missing since last Friday.

A young woman was doing some business at Auckland University and parked in an area clearly marked "no parking."
After taking care of business, she returned to her car to find a campus security guard writing her a ticket.

"Why are you giving me a ticket?" she asked.
"You're not allowed to park here," the guard said. "See that sign? It says 'Fine for Parking Here.'"

"Well," said the violator, "I thought it was a fine place to park."
The guard began to laugh. The more he thought about it, the harder he laughed. He tore up the ticket and waved the woman on her way.

"How interesting. What's his favorite trick?" she asked. "He saws people in half," answered Little Suneel.
"Gosh that's exciting. Next question. Any brothers or sisters?" continued the secretary. "One half brother and two half sisters." replied Little Suneel.

Two ladies were hanging out together after the Sunday feast and one was looking rather depressed.

"What's wrong?"

The depressed one replied, "I've been married four times and every one of my husbands has passed away."

The other lady asked, "What did they used to do?"

The depressed lady replied, "Well, my first husband was a millionaire, the second was a magician,
the third was an evangelist preacher, and the 4th was a mortician."

Her frind was heard to have said, "Oh, I see, one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go..."


The ways of this material world - strange but true


JUST AS OUR SON was learning to walk, my wife brought him to my office. He staggered around awhile, then dropped to his hands and knees and took off at top speed toward the office of the company president. We grabbed him at the doorway, but not before he was noticed by a co-worker.
     "You know," said the employee, turning to my wife, "his father goes into that office the very same way."

A new imigrant goes to the doctor with problems with his leg. The doctor checks him out and tells him they have to amputate his leg. So the guy goes to surgery and by mistake they amputate the wrong leg. When the guy gets out of surgery, the doctor tells him about the mistake and so the next day he goes back into surgery and they remove the bad leg. The guy, quite upset over the gross mistake contacts a lawyer and tells him the story.

The lawyer listens to him and says " I'm sorry but there's nothing we can do about the mistake. No court in the world will listen to you."
"Why not?" asks the guy. "Because"  answered the lawyer "you just don't have a leg to stand on."

From Fran:



SATYR, n. One of the few characters of the Grecian mythology accorded recognition in the Hebrew. (Leviticus, xvii, 7.) The satyr was at first a member of the dissolute community acknowledging a loose allegiance with Dionysius, but underwent many transformations and improvements. Not infrequently he is confounded with the faun, a later and decenter creation of the Romans, who was less like a man and more like a goat.

SAUCE, n. The one infallible sign of civilization and enlightenment. A people with no sauces has one thousand vices; a people with one sauce has only nine hundred and ninety-nine. For every sauce invented and accepted a vice is renounced and forgiven.
