2. Some people believe that laughter can help a person
suffering from an illness to recover faster. Laughter is
also a big part of the childhood of many children.
Jokes make people laugh and are used for many
different purposes. Some people tell jokes when they
are uncomfortable to ease tension, while others make
joke telling their life. International Joke Day allows
everyone to join in on the fun.
3. International Joke Day and
Nacional USA Joke Day
International Joke Day takes place each year on
July 1 ST and Nacional USA Joke Day is observed
on August 16 TH. It is not a well-known holiday and
is not celebrated by a majority of people, but it is a
good opportunity to spread a little cheer and
brighten the day of your family and friends. The day
can serve as a reminder to all that laughter can
make you forget your troubles and give you
enjoyment in your life. It will not make your
problems go away, but it can make them seem less
daunting.
4. Origins
While it is unknown exactly when Joke Day was
founded or by whom, but it was begun in the
United States. Of course, jokes are nothing new. In
fact, jokes have been traced back to the times of
ancient Greece. The first joke is thought to have
taken place before the great Trojan War. The very
first comedy club opened in Greece around 350
B.C. This club was mainly used to exchange jokes
rather than for performances, unlike the comedy
clubs of today.
5. How to Celebrate
The celebration of Joke Day can take
many different forms. Telling jokes in
person to your family, friends and coworkers is one way to start. Joke emails
can be forwarded from one address to
another, creating a long chain of laughter
among your online friends and family.
Some websites have even created ecards with an International Joke Day
theme to send out. Sending jokes to
everyone in your email address book,
including those who live in other countries,
helps spread the laughter of the holiday all
6. Benefits of Laughter
Laughter is contagious; therefore, the message of
International Joke Day is easy to spread. But laughter is
also thought to have many other benefits. According to
ArxMan Humor, laughter has been found to reduce pain,
especially in children. This is likely because laughter makes
you forget everything else that is happening around you.
Some hospitals have even begun using comedies to help
alleviate children's pain. Others also claim that laughter
offers other medical benefits, such as fighting off illnesses
and keeping diabetes under control, according to ArxMan
Humor. One of the best benefits, however, is just seeing a
person you care about smile.
