A Sense of humor - is the ability to experience humour, although the extent to which an individual will find something humorous depends on a host of variables, including geographical location, culture, maturity, level of education, intelligence, and context. For example, young children may possibly favour slapstick, such as Punch and Judy puppet shows or cartoons (e.g., Tom and Jerry). Satire may rely more on understanding the target of the humour, and thus tends to appeal to more mature audiences. Nonsatirical humour can be specifically termed "recreational drollery".
How funny do you find them?

It depends on your sense of humor...











Some funny jokes - how funny do you find them?


1) Three men, a doctor, a lawyer, and a biker were sitting in a bar talking over a few drinks.


After a sip of his Martini, the doctor said, "You know, tomorrow is my anniversary. I bought my wife a diamond ring and a new Mercedes. I figure if she doesn't like the diamond ring, then at least she will like the Mercedes, and she will know that I love her."


After finishing his scotch, the lawyer said, "Well, on my last anniversary, I bought my wife a string of pearls and a trip to the Bahamas. I figured if she didn't like the pearls, then at least she would have enjoyed the trip, and she would have known that I loved her."


The biker then took a big swig from his beer, and said, "Yeah, well for my anniversary, I got my old lady a t-shirt and a vibrator. I figured if she didn't like the t-shirt, then she could go f*** herself."


2) An old man goes to the doctor for his yearly physical, his wife tagging along. When the doctor enters the examination room, he tells the old man, "I need a urine sample, a stool sample and a sperm sample."


The old man, being hard of hearing, looks at his wife and yells: "WHAT?""


What did he say? What's he want?"


His wife yells back, "He needs your underwear."


3) Did you hear about the blonde that...


Couldn't learn to water ski because she couldn't find a lake with a slope.


Got excited because she finished a jigsaw puzzle in 6 months and the box said "2 to 4 years"


Couldn't call 911 because there was no 11 on any phone button.


When asked what the capital of California was; answered "C".


Baked a turkey for 3 days because the instructions said 1 hour per pound and she weighed 125.


After losing in a breaststroke swimming competition, complained that the other swimmers were using their arms.

What is a laughter ?



Laughter is an audible expression (written as ha ha ha or lol :) ), or appearance of merriment or happiness, or an inward feeling of joy and pleasure (laughing on the inside). It may ensue (as a physiological reaction) from jokes, tickling, and other stimuli. Inhaling nitrous oxide can also induce laughter; other drugs, such as cannabis, can also induce episodes of strong laughter. Strong laughter can sometimes bring an onset of tears or even moderate muscular pain.
Laughter is a part of
human behaviour regulated by the brain. It helps humans clarify their intentions in social interaction and provides an emotional context to conversations. Laughter is used as a signal for being part of a group — it signals acceptance and positive interactions with others. Laughter is sometimes seemingly contagious, and the laughter of one person can itself provoke laughter from others as a positive feedback.[1] An extreme case of this is the Tanganyika laughter epidemic. This may account in part for the popularity of laugh tracks in situation comedy television shows.
The study of humor and laughter, and its psychological and physiological effects on the human body is called
gelotology.



Health benefits from laughting:


Doctors are of opinion that laughing :

1) brings about the secretion of endorphins into blood. More than that, it is known that laughing is a strong muscle-relaxing method, which also relieves pain.
2) laughter can be called "inner jogging", because similar to morning jogging, the blood pressure increases and then it gradually lowers till it gets lower than the initial blood pressure.
3) laughter is considered to be a method of fighting stress (it inhibits the secretion of 4 main stress hormones). Recently, Japanese scientists discovered that laughing directly influences glucose level in blood. 4) Greek researchers have found through an experiment that 10-15 minutes of laughing burn from 10 to 40 calories, which leads to a weight loss of almost 4.5 lb (2 kg) per year.

Do you think that laughting is good for your health ?

What is a lie?




The most simple answer is: A lie is a statement that isn’t true, so a lie is an opposite to the truth. Following the St. Augustin we can although say: a person is to be judged as lying or not lying according to the intention in his own mind, not according to the truth or falsity of the statement. Those are the most popular definition of a word " lie". For ages people have wondered why people are telling lies. In my opinion there are two really simple answers. First is -people lie because they are afraid of telling truth. They did something bad or conducted immorally and now they are anxious about the consequences or particularly do something bad to done some damage to other people. Second reason is - people lie in good intentions for example to not hurt somebody or somebody's feelings. We can say that lie has disadvantages and also advantages.

First disadvantage and in my opinion extremely big is that lying can hurt other people. We can hurt our relatives, our best friend, people we need and care. If we do that consiously, it means that we have a really awful character. And we not deserve to have a friends.
Second flaw is that lying cause lack of trust between people. Also cause that people are not able to trust somebody in the future. It might change theirs lives because have an influence on decisions that they will make. The simplest example is lack of trust in relationship with partner or with friend. People who had been hurt in past, have problems with building a really strong and long relationship. They might be lonely until the end.

Furthermore, people who lies extremely often feel bad with this, and have stings of remorse. It cause that this people are not confidence, they feel sad and exhausted. All the time the live with a problem that they can not handle. It is lie. Also they often spend life in horrible loneliness.
On the other hand, sometimes people lie in good faith, to do not hurt somebody. It is often call white lies. For example a really little lie in a relationship, which can't hurt anyone. Second example can be a children lie. I think that it is the most innocent lie. Because children don't know which way is good or bad. And it is our obligation to teach them how to distinguish between good and bad.

To submit, in my opinion lying is the most cruel thing that people can do. It doesn't matter if we lie in good intentions or bad. Lie is a lie and is always bad. We have known it for ages but constantly we can't learn this. I look with hope in future and have faith that someday human generation will be able to live in world of truth with no lies.

People can lie. This simple truth explains how important is ability to discover lie. There are many different ways to identify cram. I present some helpful instruction below. You have to know that this tool is only a proposition. Much more effective can be confidence in your own feelings and observations.

How to Detect Lies

Watching facial expressions in order to determine whether a person is lying might just save you from being a victim of fraud, or it could help you figure out when somebody's being genuine. Jury analysts do this when assisting in jury selection. The police do this during an interrogation. You have to learn the little facial and body expressions that can help you distinguish a lie from the truth.

1. Observe how the person smiles.
2. Notice the behavior of other body parts. 
3. Look out for microexpressions. 
4. Watch their eyes. 
5. Check for sweating. 
6. Mind exaggerated details. 
7. Notice the person's eye movements. 
8. Be sensitive to the person's emotional expression
9. Listen for a subtle delay in responses to questions. 
10. Avoiding direct statements or answers
11. Speaking excessively in an effort to convince
12. Speaking in a monotonous tone
13. Leaving out pronouns (he, she, it, etc.)
14. Speaking in muddled sentences
15. Equivocation or "Non-Answers". 
16. Using humor and sarcasm to avoid the subject
17. Allow silence to enter the conversation. 
18. Change the subject quickly.
