World Laughter Day Facts & Quotes

Laughter has many health benefits. Laughter can help relax the body, boost the immune system, trigger the release of endorphins, diffuse anger, and it may even possibly help you live longer.
[Humanity] has unquestionably one really effective weapon—laughter. Power, money, persuasion, supplication, persecution—these can lift at a colossal humbug—push it a little—weaken it a little, century by century, but only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand - Mark Twain
Wesley Parsons, a farmer from Laurel, Indiana literally died from laughter. After almost an hour of laughing at a joke, he started to hiccup and hours later died from exhaustion.
