Quotable: Laughter

The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.

This statement from e.e. cummings goes up as one of my favorite of all time. Laughter is a great medicine, as every copy of Reader’s Digest will tell you.

You may have noticed that as you browse here on LanceWillett.com various sayings or jokes appear in the header below the title. This is my way of giving you a small laugh whenever you visit my site. (Refresh the page to see another one.)

My laughs come from all sorts of places. My wife, my cats, other people, funny stories, cartoons, songs—the list goes on. Here are several cartoons that I follow:

  • xkcd.com – A daily cartoon, usually geeky in nature.
  • LOLcats – Hilarious cartoon that simulates old-time cartoon art with 2000’s era humor.
  • Strongbad Email – This animated cartoon series is creative, witty, and funny (but sometimes obscure and geeky like xkcd above).

I know Erin follows Bucky Katt, Satchel Pooch, and their human, Rob, on the dailyu Get Fuzzy cartoon, and we both get on YouTube every so often to watch funny commercials and videos.

If you need a laugh right now, go watch some of the videos published by Coudal and friends, like Hobbies or Copy Goes Here. Hilarious, and even more so if you can identify with it! (See the entire listing).

If your sides are hurting afterwards, then you know you’ve got a good dose of laughter.
