All About Humor

what's funny to you. My job is to help you discover things you might enjoy and
ease your navigation to them. So, c'mon, let's go find the next laugh. Your
shoe's untied."

on your house then find out what your house says about you. You will then have
the option to start a street which will give you a web address you can pass onto
friends. When they add a house after clicking your link their house is added to
your street.
Evaluation of
Humour in Emergency Work
Emergency work can be distressful, but in
recent years there has also been a growing number of publications which
recognise the positive aspects experienced by emergency workers. This paper
identifies humour as a coping strategy which contributes to emergency workers'
adjustment to difficult, arduous and exhausting situations. We argue that humour
enhances communication, facilitates cognitive reframing and social support, and
has possible physical benefits. The authors believe an important delineation
needs to be made between a healthy use of humour and humour that is used to mask
feelings in a way that will cause later distress.

Their goal is to bring some humor back into
physicians' lives. Their journal has a no-holds barred approach where we make
fun of themselves, our patients and medicine in general. Prepare to laugh.
Prepare to be amused. Prepare to be disgusted. This is a true "throwaway" that
is meant to be read on the toilet. Each story has been scientifically analyzed
and was found to be read in the amount of time of the average bowel movement

social worker to truly enjoy this!)
