This holiday is no joke! Then again, it's all about the jokes.
Did you know today is International Joke Day? It's a great day to take in a good laugh or make someone else laugh. After all, it's believed that laughter is the best medicine.
About This Day
Joke Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated worldwide. American author Wayne Reinagel celebrated this holiday to promote his Funniest Office Jokes books. I couldn't find any additional information online about how this day came be celebrated every July 1st worldwide.
A joke is a statement that provokes amusement or laughter. Jokes are often told as a narrative story with an unexpected climatic twist or punchline at the end.
Jokes aren't meant to be taken seriously. They're meant for people to share smiles and laughter with one another.
Research shows that jokes contribute to one's psychological and physical well-being, making them a strong and powerful medicine for all.
So, why not celebrate the day with laughter?!
How to Celebrate
Tell a joke or two to your colleagues, family members, and friends. Get one or all of them to tell you about a joke in return.
Why not tell a joke to your pet and observe their reaction after you deliver the punchline? Chances are your pet would look at you like you lost your mind, but it's still one way to celebrate the day!
Watch or listen to comedy. It could be a movie, video on social media, or standup comedian. Make it something that makes you smile or laugh! I don't see anything wrong with watching or listening to something funny that you've heard once or twice before. If it still makes you feel good inside, then why not?
