You mean Hasyayoga? Nope.
It’s great for your state of mind.
It may not be as effective for a severed artery.

I don’t think you can get a pill for that, but “laughter is the best tourniquet” doesn’t exactly trip off the tongue either.
No one remembers the story of Norman Cousins, the long-time editor of the Saturday Review, diagnosed with a serious, progressive illness, who decided to see just how well laughter worked? Actually, it worked pretty damn well for him. And there actually have been a few other studies.
I think it’s pretty well established that the state of the patients mind can affect recovery. However, I doubt anyone with diabetes would say laughter is more effective than a shot of insulin.
It’s a poetic saying, it’s not meant to be taken literally.
I disagree, I think they’re hilarious.
snerk!
Ooh, my triglycerides just went down! Thanks, BMalion.
