[Robert] Provine [a neuroscientist at the University of Maryland in Baltimore] even chronicles a "laughter epidemic" in Tanzania during the 1960s that lasted two and a half years, affected 1,000 people and forced 4 missionary schools to close. The laughter "afflicted" female students and their female relatives, not their teachers, fathers or other authority figures. In that sense, it was very similar to the regular epidemics of "mad laughter" I've discovered in my research into sectarian groups in 17th-century England, laughter that marks the solidarity of a radically disempowered dissident group against a dominant, autocratic culture.from "I laugh, therefore I am" by Blaine Greteman

Research shows that women laugh more than men. Perhaps there is a reason for that?
Laugh on, my sistahs! Laugh on.

Oh, my thithter, we will always laugh...and even more so when we are together!
The boys look quite regal here - I know they are channeling the lions they truly are.
I love laughing with you - and laughing in general - but it's especially sweet with those we love.
Truly, there's nothing I enjoy more.
I am sooo laughing!!! and glad to be laughing without anxiety!!! Did I tell you those kitties are just beautiful?!
