What Makes You Laugh?

CBS Sunday Morning did a feature on Jewish stand-up comedy and what used to be known as the Borscht Belt. I was reminded of a Yiddish quote on a ceramic plaque I have. It says "From concert of life nobody gets a program." People either get it or they don't.

A couple of movies I saw recently illustrate two different kinds of humor. Bette Midler and Billy Crystal's "Parental Guidance" is slapstick. Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris" is tickle-your-funnybone funny.

Either way, laughter is good for the soul. They say it's good for the body, too.
