World Smile Day is marked every first Friday in October. It’s a day to make you smile, show some love to other people, and make them smile too.
Background
An artist and designer from Massachusetts, Harvey Ball, created the smiley face symbol in 1963. This symbol was widely accepted, and everyone began to use it as a means of communication, in ads campaigns and even on TV. Harvey didn’t want the intention behind his creation to be lost and came up with the idea for World Smile Day in 1999.
He wanted people to dedicate at least one day of the year to be nice, exchange smiles with everyone, and be of good cheer. Smiling releases endorphins that make you feel pleasure, and you can get the same effect when you make other people smile. Enjoy some jokes as you celebrate World Smile Day.
1. The world is missing out on so much laughter…
Now that people are only sharing inside jokes.
2. Fun fact: You can’t breathe correctly while smiling
Just kidding, I made you smile 🙂
3. My pregnant wife asked me if I ever worried it would be too hot for the baby inside her. I patted her tummy, smiled, and said, “Nah…”
“It’s probably womb temperature!”
4. A company owner was asked a question,
How do you motivate your employees to be so punctual?”
He smiled & replied, “It’s simple. I have 30 employees and 29 free parking spaces. One is paid parking.”
5. They say that laughter is the best medicine.
Then, why was I kicked out of the cancer ward for laughing at the patients?
6. There once was a boy whose name was Anonymous…
People always asked him if he wanted to change the name his parents gave him, to which he would always smile and reply,
“No, I wish to remain Anonymous.”
7. My greatest skill is humor…
Sometimes people even tell me I smell funny.
8. There was a man who read a joke so funny that he died from laughter.
After reading it, the authorities all agreed that it was a killer joke.
9. People always say laughter is the best medicine…
But when I ask for it at the pharmacy, people always give me a weird look.
10. A baby’s laughter can be the most beautiful sound you will ever hear…
Unless it’s 3 am
And you’re home alone
And you don’t have a baby…
11. What do you call a wolf that is woke?
Awarewolf
12. I hate my job at the morgue, nobody gets my sense of humor.
I swear I’m working with a bunch of stiffs.
Here are a few tips for increasing your family’s health and happiness.
Thanks for the smiles. And the laughs.
And the 29 free parking spots. It actually makes sense. At one recurring meeting I attend, last one in takes the minutes. Everybody gets there early.
Hi David,
