Laughter Is Medicine

About the Book

Jokes are made to make people laugh, to relieve stress, to cheer people, or to make a sad person smile. Also, humor is made to help you get through difficult times. Also, the way for a speaker to get an audience's attention is by first telling a joke. My husband Oliver Clarence Brown had a great sense of humor, who inspired me to write this book. I have written some of these jokes, as well as other people and ministers I got some jokes from. There are many new miscellaneous, as well as family, medical, religious, kids, kids religious, blond, police or criminal, and riddle jokes to this book that make it different from other joke books. I would like to pass them on to others.
