Laughing is incredibly important for both physical and mental health.
It triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals, which promote an overall sense of well-being and can temporarily relieve pain. Additionally, laughing reduces stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which can help relax the body and boost the immune system.
It also increases blood flow and improves cardiovascular health. Moreover, laughing fosters social connections and strengthens relationships by enhancing communication and promoting bonding.
For the sake of the daily laugh, here’s a joke that will surely boost your endorphins, as it did mine!
Aman goes to confession and asks the priest for forgiveness because he has sinned. When the priest asks whether he wants to confess his transgressions, the man says he spent the weekend using the “F-word.”
“Oh okay, just say three Hail Marys and try to watch your language,” the priest responds.
In response, the man says he wants to own up to the reason he said the “F-word.” With a sigh, the priest signals for him to go on.
Well, father, I spent Sunday afternoon playing golf with my friends instead of going to church. “And you got upset over that and,” the priest comments.
“That wasn’t the reason I swore,” the man retorted. “I made a mistake and threw my ball left into the trees on the first tee.” And at that point, the priest replied, “you swore then>”
The man answered, “No, I didn’t,” with a hint of resentment due to the many interruptions.
“I realised my ball took a fortunate bounce and I had a clear shot to the green as I was walking up the fairway. But before I could make contact with the ball, a squirrel grabbed my ball and scurried up a tree.” “Is that when you said the ‘F. word,” inquired the priest.
“No, because an eagle then flew by and caught the squirel in its shackles and flew away,” the guy replied.
“Is that when you swore?” the priest asked, blowing out a breath.
“No,” the man responded. “The reason being that the eagle passed over the green and the dying squirrel dropped my golf ball, landing only five inches from the hole.”
“Don’t tell me you missed thee f***ing putt!” said the priest.
