Now, Buck this is probably something you don’t know, but cute is one of nature’s devices for preserving its young. It doesn’t apply to just animals either.

Writing humor is one of the more difficult types of writing simply because most writers misunderstand the intent of humor writing.
One of the predominate misconceptions about humor writing is that it needs to be a ‘joke book’. This believe fills the pages with one-liners, puns and groaners and has the effect of a clown at a circus – amusing to a degree, but you’ll be glad when they just go away.
Many stand-up comedians make poor humor writers because the set-up and punch line routines in stand-up do not translate well to an individual reader. It would be sort of like trying to do stand-up in front of one person – the humor just seems to go away.
People who laugh on a regular basis have lower blood pressure than the average person. When you laugh your blood pressure will initially go up then become lower than the normal level, your breathing will then be deeper and that sends oxygenated blood throughout our body. Laughing will decrease your stress hormone and will increase antibodies to fight infections.
Having a sense of humor may help protect you against a heart attack. Research shows that laughing may help prevent heart disease and also found that people that already had heart disease were about 40% less likely to laugh compared to other people about the same age that did not have heart disease.
I became a philosopher at age twelve, after a scant six years of fishing. One evening at supper I looked up from my plate and announced, “I fish; therefore, I am.” Perhaps awed by this evidence of precocity in a young boy, my stepfather turned to my mother and asked, “Is there any more gravy?” Thus encouraged, I forgot about philosophy until I went off to college. – Patrick McManus
Life’s Amusements
A humor writer can take the normal events in life and enhance their ‘normalcy’ to make the common uncommonly funny.
The smoke from the campfire always blew directly in the eyes of the campers, regardless of wind direction. No one minded much, since it prevented you from seeing what you were eating. If a bite of food showed no signs of struggle, you considered this a reasonable indication that it came from the cook pot and was not something just passing through. – Patrick McManus
Doctors have pointed out that having a sense of humor can teach perspective by helping people see the reality of the situations rather than distort it to support their distress. Humor can shift the way we think and distress can alter the way we think. It really isn’t the situation that causes stress; it is the meaning we put behind the situation. Humor can adjust the meaning of the situation so that it is not so overwhelming.
Try these few ideas to help improve your mood and have a sense of humor on life. Try to laugh at events rather than be distressed by them. It will improve your disposition. Try laughing to help release any pent up anger or frustration by visualizing a humorous event to replace the anxiety-producing situation
