It’s a well-known fact that laughter increases one’s health and wellbeing and strengthens the immune system. A recent study reveals that grownups spend only a fraction of the time laughing that children do, and that adults 40 years ago laughed twice as much as today.
In a sincere attempt to change this negative trend and thereby improve vigor and vitality, we have developed a revolutionary laugh inducer. By using our inexpensive product, you’ll be laughing all the way to the bank, instead of wasting money on clown-o-grams, stand-up comedy clubs or sit-down whoopee cushions.
The body doesn’t necessarily have to giggle, chuckle or chortle to activate the health benefits. Merely assuming a laughing countenance, such as by gripping a pencil between the molars, is sufficient to trigger “the best medicine”. Thus our plastic bit, with safety cords to the ears, assures a merry expression, even while you sleep. Think of the bonus laugh you’ll enjoy in the morning, when you see the “smiley” in the mirror.
If your snickering snore is bothering the spouse, our line of fashion bits for public wear will certainly be a hit. Just remember that the world is laughing *with* you.-- FarmerJohn, Jun 12 2003 (?) happy you http://www.geocitie.../bitoflaughter.html [FarmerJohn, Oct 05 2004, last modified Oct 17 2004] (?)

If this would work, wouldn't we already be seeing Miss America contestants and car salesmen outliving judges, policemen, and teachers?-- beauxeault, Jun 12 2003 //Yep, that's me - part man, part horse// there's nothing wrong with your teeth, FJ.-- po, Jun 12 2003 //wouldn't we already be seeing Miss America contestants and car salesmen outliving judges, policemen, and teachers?//

He once told me that when he's down, he forces himself to walk about with a smiley expression. He says that after a bit, it really does lift his mood.
