A man is walking home alone late one foggy Halloween night,
when behind him he hears:
BUMP...
BUMP...
BUMP...
Walking faster, he looks back and through the fog he makes
out the image of an upright casket banging its way down the
middle of the street toward him.
BUMP...
BUMP...
BUMP...
Terrified, the man begins to run toward his home, the casket
bouncing quickly behind him.
FASTER...
FASTER...
BUMP...
BUMP...
BUMP....
He runs up to his door, fumbles with his keys, opens the
door, rushes in, slams and locks the door behind him.
However, the casket crashes through his door, with the lid
of the casket clapping.
clappity-BUMP...
clappity-BUMP...
clappity-BUMP... on his heels, as the terrified man runs.
Rushing upstairs to the bathroom, he locks himself in. His
heart is pounding; his head is reeling; his breath is coming
in sobbing gasps.
With a loud CRASH the casket breaks down the door. Bumping
and clapping toward him.
The man screams and reaches for something, anything, but all
he can find is a bottle of cough syrup! Desperate, he throws
the cough syrup at the casket...
and,
(hopefully you're ready for
this!)

Laughter and Nonjudgment Day: If we can raise the vibration on the planet through the resonance of laughter, we'll have the uncritical mass necessary to bring about Nonjudgment Day -- that is when everyone wins beauty contests, and all the lawyers
disappear.

"Laughter
yoga combines laughter with yogic breathing exercises. It is
a perfect way to laugh and get exercise at the same time. It
approaches laughter as a body exercise, so it is easy
to laugh even if you are depressed or in a bad mood. Last
year I highlighted laughter yoga on my TV program. I have
tried it, and it works."
