LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE: It seems this woman visited her doctor and complained about her husband's abusive attitude. She said he flies off the handle at the least provocation and she was becoming afraid. The doctor told her the next time her husband lost his temper, she should get a glass of water and take a full mouthful. He said: "Don't swallow the water. Just keep swishing it around in your mouth until your husband either calms down or leaves the room." She thought this odd but agreed she would give it a try. The next time she visited the doctor, she exclaimed that the advise worked perfectly. She asked him what swishing the water in her mouth did to calm him down. The doctor replied: "It wasn't swishing the water around in your mouth that calmed him down. It was keeping your mouth shut that did the trick." That's all, folks.++++++++ That's for laughter, but in a more serious vein: Two years ago, after my stroke, one of the young ladies who aided me in the shower, asked: "What is the secret of a successful marriage.?" My answer was the same as the doctor's. Andy Dolan
