In 1989, Danish audiologist by the name of Ole Bentzen went to see the movie 'A Fish Called Wanda'. During one of the John Cleese scenes, Bentzen began laughing so hard that his heartbeat accelerated to a rate of between 250 and 500 beats a minute, had a heart attack and died  ( >.< )

'In 2003, Damnoen Saen-um, a Thai ice cream salesman, is reported to have died while laughing in his sleep at the age of 52. His wife was unable to wake him, and he stopped breathing after two minutes of continuous laughter. He was believed to have died either of heart failure or asphyxiation.' (wiki)

I'm not trying to imply that laughing is SOOOOO bad & not to laugh
plz, do laugh
it poses more benefits than its 'disadavantages'
here are the benefits of laughing

KEEP ON LAUGHING! 

1. Laughing 100 times roughly equals 15 minutes on an exercise bike? Vigorous laughter increases the heart rate deepens the breathing rate, and uses muscles in the face, stomach, and diaphragm. 

2. Aside from improving our moods, laughter can reduce stress, help fight infection, and reduce pain. (really reduce pain?) lol

3. The levels of two stress hormones, cortisol and epinephrine which suppress the body's immune system, will actually drop after a dose of laughter. 

4. Laughter causes positive changes in brain chemistry by releasing endorphins, and it brings more oxygen into the body with the deeper inhalations. 

5. Laughter releases anger, fear, guilt, anxiety and tension

6. Laughter encourages concentration on "right" attitudes rather than "wrong" attitudes. 

7. Higher levels of an antibody (salivary immunoglobulin A) that fights infectious organisms entering the respiratory tract were found in the saliva of people who watched humorous videos or experienced good moods. 

8. Researchers found after watching an hour-long video of slapstick comedy that the "natural killer cells," which seek out and destroy malignant cells, more actively attacked tumor cells in test tubes. And these effects lasted up to 12 hours. 

9. The 1998 movie Patch Adams told the real-life story of a nonconformist doctor convinced that fun, play, and clowns are important in improving patients' quality of life in a grim hospital atmosphere. 

10. Planning enjoyable activities for the future will reduce the stressor hormones such as cortisol and epinephrine.
