Humour


Getting older is no laughing matter. But sometimes that's the best we can do. 

Max, who lived to be 94, made a joke out of most everything, including himself. 

Thomas Sydenham, the 17th century physician who has been called the father of English medicine, made this claim:  "The arrival of a good clown into a village does more for its health than 20 asses laden with drugs." 

Now what do you think of that?

  1. I imagine that seeing 20 asses laden with drugs would be pretty funny these days.
    And I believe that a life of peace and contentment, with lots of good humor thrown in has a lot of appeal.
    Thanks for bringing us back to that...
