I love laughing - I love the whole of it, the anticipation when you know it's staged, and the unpredictability of it when it sneaks up on you.
In fact, don't they say that laughter is the best medicine?
Actually it was quite a revelation to find that nearly everything I watch on TV on any kind of a regular basis, is a comedy of one form or another.
And do you know how I found this out? (You watch, you'll find it funny!) I found this out because at the moment, laughing actually hurts.
Paul, bless him, doesn't realise how much he makes me laugh and has been told to stop it. And he didn't know he was even doing anything! All I can do is hope that I heal really really really quickly, because I realised something else, too: I miss the laughing.
Humour and laughing increases blood flow which increases the amount of oxygen in cells which allows quicker release of energy etc and so it should help you heal quicker
