Grumpiness Kicks In As We Get Older

"The 'Lifetime of Laughter Scale' shows that there really is a law of diminishing returns when it comes to laughter.�
- Researcher Dr Lesley Harbidge (Glamorgan University)

Ah, Ellen Degeneres. I just love that woman. She is a sharp lady, and a whole lotta fun. And I was laughing out loud this morning as I watched the video below where she says that a British study suggests that men and women begin to suffer a sharp decline in their sense of humour as they age.


And that it�s all downhill starting at the ripe old age of 52. Apparently, that�s when �Victor Medrew Syndrome� kicks in, and we become more grumpy than happy.� (Click here for an article about it.)

52, huh?

Well, I better load up on funny stuff while I can because I've only got 2 � more years to go before I start to gripe and grumble.
The study finds that we laugh twice as much in our teens as we do in our fifties.

If you have a couple of minutes, watch this video. Ellen knows how to tickle the funny bone, no matter the age.

A beautiful weekend to all. Even to the grumpy ones!
