With sales of pig noses on the rise, one wonders if some people are poking a bit of fun at the recent Swine Flu outbreak. I would like to think so.

If there was ever a time for simple practical jokes, it would be now. While we may not all share the same politics of humor, the enjoyment of laughter is universal. Laughter allows us to step back and see things for what they really are. Ever notice how virtually everyone giggles at a fart? Somewhere in a simple fart lies the true answer to life, the Universe and everything. Nonsense you say?

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope and that enables you to laugh at life's realities." - Dr Seuss
