			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Driving in to work today, I heard a great story on <strong><a href="http://news.opb.org/article/npr/113029425-an_indian_doctors_cure-all_charlie_chaplin/" target="_blank">OPB</a></strong> about a doctor in India who prescribes Charlie Chaplin DVDs to his patients.  He practices <strong><span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda" target="_blank">ayurvedic medicine</a></span></strong>, which looks kind of interesting.</p>
<p>I love the image of sick people hobbling in to exchange their silent movie for another.  It really made me smile all day long.</p>
<p>Also, evidently, in India, they have groups that get together to laugh.  Imagine getting together with a bunch of friends and instead of griping about the things that aren&#8217;t working in your lives, you just sat and laughed.  It reminds me of the &#8220;ha ha&#8221; game we used to play at sleepovers.  You remember that game?</p>
<p>Someone lies on their back and another person lies on their back, putting their head on the other person&#8217;s stomach.  Everyone lies down so that everybody has their head on someone&#8217;s stomach, and everyone is connected.  Make sense?  Good.  Then the first person in the chain says &#8220;ha&#8221;.  The second person says &#8220;ha-ha&#8221;, and so on.  The goal is to get through everyone, increasing the ha&#8217;s as you go &#8211; without laughing.</p>
<p>This is nearly impossible.  The word &#8220;ha&#8221; makes your stomach jerk, which makes the other person&#8217;s head bounce, which is funny.  Pretty soon everyone is totally laughing, which makes everyone&#8217;s heads bounce around.  Seriously, try this at the next cocktail party you go to.</p>
<p>Wouldn&#8217;t that be excellent?  Why don&#8217;t we do these things as adults?  I do these things, but I don&#8217;t get invited to a lot of cocktail parties.  I&#8217;m not sure there&#8217;s a correlation.</p>
