The title is true, laughter is the best medicine. I remember a few years ago someone told me how a man with a brain injury treated their injury by watching films that made them laugh. Apparently, when people laugh their brains produce a chemical that can heal.

It's a shame I have a dry humour and don't laugh so much :).

A dry sense of humour is just as good Matt. I bet you laugh just as much on the inside. That's good medicine too!

I'm glad you see it that way. I do laugh a lot on the inside too and I try to smile a lot when needed.

I was being a bit modest about my dry humour. I can be dry at times but can also have a... Wet sense of humour too :).

For instance, I am in a cinema or theatre and I could be watching something that is humourous but some things said or done can seem, to me, smirk-worthy and someone in the row behind me finds this certain something hilarious.

I have a very dry sense of humour I can totally relate to your cinema experience. It made me think of something.

I went to blackpool dungeons recently and found the whole thing absolutely hilarious never laughed so much in a long time. Highly recommend.

That certainly strikes a chord for me Claire. If I'm raring for a fight, a cuppa will always transform me into the sweet / reasonable person I prefer to be ! 😇 xxx
