A man isn't poor if he can still laugh.


Today, according to holidays on the net, we celebrate laugh and get rich day. A day for recognizing that laughter and humor are good for morale in the workplace and the reality that laughter has a positive effect on a business' bottom line.

What I want to know is how does one get rich from laughing? Is it get monetary rich or just emotionally and mentally rich? What do you believe it is? It'd be nice if you could laugh and get monetary rich, I'd laugh all the time. That would be a good job anyways, every time you laugh money falls into your lap kind of thing. I think that would be just brilliant. I'm going to go with the easiest, though, and say that today means laugh and get rich (mentally/emotionally). As laughing really does do the body good. It increases happiness and intimacy. It also triggers healthy physical changes in the body by strengthening your immune system, boosting your energy, diminishing pain, and protecting you from the damaging effects of stress. So I say put down your school books or stop working for a few minutes and just give yourself a good laugh fest. Everyone can use it.

So for laugh and get rich day I'm going to share a joke of the day from jokeoftheday.com and hopefully give you a laugh.


Last year a friend of mine upgraded from Boyfriend 1.0 to Husband 1.0 and found that it's a memory hog, leaving very little system resources available for other applications. She is now noticing that Husband 1.0 is also spawning Child Processors which are further consuming valuable resources. No mention of this particular phenomena was included in the product brochure or the documentation, though other users have informed her that this is to be expected due to the nature of the application. Not only that, Husband 1.0 installs itself such, that it is always launched at system initialization, where it can monitor all other system activity. She's finding that some applications such as Spending Spree 2.4, Girls Night 3.5 and Cocktail Night 7.0 are no longer able to run in the system at all, crashing the system when selected (even though they always worked fine before). During installation, Husband 1.0 provides no option as to the installation of undesired Plug-ins such as Mother-In-Law 5.8 and Brother-In-Law Beta release. Also, system performance seems to diminish with each passing day. Some features she'd like to see in the upcoming Husband 2.0 include: 1. A "Yes I'll cook, clean etc." button. 2. An install shield feature that allows Husband 2.0 be installed with the option to uninstall at anytime without the loss of cache and other system resources.

I myself decided to avoid the headache associated with Husband 1.0 by sticking with Boyfriend 2.0. Even here, however, I found many problems. Apparently you cannot install Boyfriend 2.0 on top of Boyfriend 1.0; each program begins damaging the other. You must uninstall Boyfriend 1.0 first. Other users say this is a long standing bug that I should have known about. You'd think they would have fixed such a stupid bug by now! To make matters worse, the uninstall program for Boyfriend 1.0 doesn't work very well, leaving undesirable traces of the application in the system. Another thing--all versions of Boyfriend 1.0 continually pop up little annoying messages about the advantages of upgrading to Husband 1.0.

Bug Warning
Husband 1.0 has an undocumented bug. If you try to install Lover 1.1 before uninstalling Husband 1.0, Husband 1.0 will delete MS Clothing allowance files, before doing the uninstall himself. More applications that won't run with Husband 1.0 include Chippendale 2.0, Netball watching 3.5, Sure more shoes 6.0, and Cleanup 4.3.

Applications that run very well with Husband 1.0, however, include Bumming around 1.0, Pub night 2.3, Golfing 2.7, Poker night 5.3, and Wandering eyes 4.9.

I think you are right about the emotional part. But I also think that if you laugh and are happy and all that good emotion stuff that you mentioned comes true, well then you are more likely to make money. Happy people can encourage others in business, which makes money. You are more likely to get hired to a well paying job if you are happy opposed to sad. A smile can get you far in life.
