1. HUMOR U TIP #161 – Laughing Reeeallly Matters

By Ann Fry

In the case of how laughing matters, consider, as you walk down the hallways of your workplace … what do you hear or see? Are people quiet in their cubes OR are they interacting, laughing and enjoying being at work? If it's the first, then there's a problem. If, however, they're happy and laughing … then you're in great shape.

Truth: People just want to work for GREAT companies and GREAT managers. If you make them laugh and keep them happy, they'll "blow the lid" off their productivity and produce breakthrough results! Can you say... KA-CHING?

3. MOVIE RECOMMENDATIONS

Since humor, laughter and FUN are our game, we LOVE movies as a source for those feelings. So, whenever we see a movie that we think is really fun or silly or otherwise worthy of recommendation, we'll cover it here. Movies, by the way, are great "therapy" — a great way to get away from stress and the busy world.

Pirates of the Caribbean: This is Johnny Depp at his finest. It's a great spoof of the old pirate on the high seas, searching for jewels and fortune … all done with a sense of humor and bunches of laughs.
Finding Nemo: Certainly not just for kids. A delightful animated movie, filled with awe, adventure and lots of cleverness and laughs. It's Albert Brooks at his finest.

4. HUMOR U STUFF
