How about a laugh, (hopefully)

Posted by Leonard @jakedduck1, Dec 31, 2018

I believe laughter is the best medicine. Laughter has actually been scientifically proven to help people with depression issues.
Let’s give it a try so we can all get happy and feel better. Many Epilepsy forums I’ve been on had joke sections. I was probably the biggest joke of all since I didn’t get a lot of the jokes. They said the jokes couldn’t be above 4th grade level for me to understand them so my jokes may be rather simplistic but let’s give it a try.
Have a lovely day everyone,
Jake

Reminds me of one of my favorite Dad jokes:

Q. Why don't you ever know when a Pterodactyl's going to the bathroom?

A. Because the "P" is silent.

@shirleyrawlins I learned the following one in school:

What is GHOTI?

GHOTI = FISH

GH, as in enough = F
O, as in women = I
TI, as in nation = SH

To expand on "ghoti":

The Right Way to Spell Potato

If GH can stand for P as in Hiccough
If OUGH stands for O as in Dough
If PHTH stands for T as in Phthisis
If EIGH stands for A as in Neighbour
If TTE stands for T as in Gazette
If EAU stands for O as in Plateau
Then the right way to spell POTATO should be: GHOUGHPHTHEIGHTTEEAU

I asked Mr. GOOGLE how to pronounce
GHOUGHPHTHEIGHTEEAU and he told me to ask Siri.

How the heck do you pronounce it, Shirley?

Decorating for Hallowe'en with plastic skeletons is terrible for the environment. Locally sourced natural skeletons are environmentally friendlier.
