(the Americans love savings, and leaving out all those extra letters {humour, colour. etc) must save LOTS of time & ink in a year.)

we need humor, no matter how you spell it, because it is actually healthier to laugh than not.....and considering how silly and strange we are as a species, humor is as natural as breathing in and out. Humor is one way we cope with the aspects of life that are not naturally funny.

Did you hear the joke about the company that decided not to upgrade their air-filtering equipment, and told the employees to just breathe OUT 2-3 times for each time they breathed IN?
