Most people have heard that laughter is one of the best medicines. But can this be scientifically proven?

width=290>We have all heard the old adage before: laughter is the best medicine. 
But, it might just be among the oldest medicine. In a report published by the 
University of Wolverhampton, and commissioned by the British television channel 
Dave, the world’s oldest joke can be traced back to 1900 BC. Not surprisingly, 
the list of the world’s top 10 oldest jokes includes the ever-popular bathroom 
humor and much sexual innuendo.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4AB13FE6-73B7-4A29-B9F4-827C46FA9E39/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
