Laughter is the best medicine

 You can't say you don't understand this video...

We talked about 'viral videos' the other day with L3, you know, these funny videos that spread out like a virus in the internet. I'm not very fond of 'viral' videos,  but hey, I liked this one, especially now that we are tired, and we can't see the light the end of the tunnel ... laughter is the best medicine, it's highly contagious ...and it can be understood in any language.

• READ: Mail Online: Laughter is the best cure
• L3: WATCH: CBS News. Laughter as medicine: The old Indian HA-HA therapy
• Key words: to keep the body and mind fit, organised lunacy, keep the blues at bay,  feel ashamed, laughter proved contagious, it sounds like a joke, an extra in a horror movie.

• And THIS is a funny conversation made up of movie titles that Marc (L3) sent the other day.  Thanks!

By the way, the baby is ripping up her daddy's job rejection letter!

Oh, and have a nice Carnestoltes!

Do you need the transcript?


(L3)Unfortunately, US athletes haven't been able to eat CHOBANI so far, the Greek yogurt made in the USA and official sponsor of the US team, because it's been held up at customs due to a battle of trade rules for dairy exports.

KEY WORDS: customs, official sponsors, brand, TV commercials,Russian ambassador, Olympic committee, remove the roadblock, dairy products

Let's hope the athletes can get their yogurt soon!
