Laughter Deficiency Syndrome (LDS)

Well the question you are
asking yourself is maybe what this is. Have you ever laughed so silly that you
thought you would die? Or have you ever experienced the feeling one gets when
you are tickled, maybe you can remember your days when you were a kid. I had
the experience when I was a kid. My grandpa used to tickle us and we would
laugh until we lost our breath.
Pathological laughter can
apparently cause your muscles to weaken to the extent that you can fall down
and hurt yourself. It may also lead to a lesion or induce a heart attack.
Apparently people with this disorder can laugh themselves to death. Do you
believe this? I did not believe either until I did my research.
Take for instance your time
by checking out this funniest joke in the world; two hunters were out in the
woods when one of them collapsed. He didn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes
were glazing. The other hunter pulled out his cell phone and called emergency services.
He then gasps to the operator, ‘My friend is dead! What can I do?’ The operator
in a calm, soothing voice replies. ‘Take it easy, I can help. First let’s make
sure that he is dead.’ There is a silence and then a short is heard. Back on
the phone, the other hunter says, ‘Okay, now what?’
You don’t have to tell me
whether you laughed, but if you really did, then you are in really good
company.
The funniest joke in the
world also refers to a Monty Python video about a joke that is so funny that
everybody who hears it dies literally of laughter. Eventually, the military
began to use the joke as their secret weapon the details I don’t know. I
laughed while watching that video but the comments posted on that video made me
laugh louder.
It’s very clear that many
people suffer from this disorder all over the world. After watching this video,
I was curious to find out whether there are recorded cases of people who have
died from laughter. Strangely, according to Wikipedia, there are a number of
cases as I came to find out. The earliest one was the Greek philosopher
Chrysippus, about three centuries before Christ, who died guffawing after
giving wine to his donkey and watching it try to eat figs. More than a thousand
years later on, king Martin of Aragon died from a combination of indigestion
and uncontrollable laughter. Also ten years ago a Thai ice cream salesman died
while laughing in his sleep. Just this year an insurance salesman Charles
Baltimore died laughing while trying to sell to a famous accordion
player…………Laugh sanely on this day!
