I’m under the impression that laughter truly is the best medicine. It’s funny how easy it is to get in a good mood just by smiling. A couple times a week, we sit in our cubicles and listen to a full comedy album. Sometimes they're good, sometimes...well, we won't discus that. Whenever we get a really good one, I share it with you, in the hopes that you get as big a laugh as we do. Enjoy!
