NATIONAL HUMOR MONTH

NATIONAL HUMOR MONTH

Why did a rubber duck cross the road? To see the rubber chicken! April is National Humor Month!

Humor plays an essential role in our overall health. The ability to smile, laugh, and play is directly related to the way we express our personalities. It's one of our more redeeming qualities.

The more we laugh at ourselves, the better suited we are for the world around us, too! Jokes and general silliness help to increase our heart rate and blood flow bringing oxygen to our brain and vital organs. A sparkle dances in our eyes as hormones flood our bodies reducing pain and stress.

Can you imagine a world without laughter?
