I guess it was only a matter of time before I was invited to a 'laughter therapy' seminar at work.
Has anyone here come acros this therapy? I'm very scared it will involve a gathering of business-suited people in a seminar room who have to engage in bouts of forced laughter.

In the early 90s, Radio Shack had a teeny but intense torch - 2 gas cylinders, one of butane, one of N2O . See if you can find any of those still around.

A conference room full of business suited people on Whip-Its® sounds disturbing.

If the cost of the seminar is high, then laughter therapy is no joke.

"Laughter therapy may include laughter exercises, clowns, and comedy movies, books, games, and puzzles."

That sounds like fun, so why would anyone dread it? 
Unless, of course, the people arranging the sessions are the most humorless people on the planet.

I'm surprised this wasn't a topic for an episode of The Office.

I had an inkling that I was right, Icy.

Laughing is good for you, I agree, but "'laughter therapy' seminar" does sound a bit like a contradiction in terms...

Seminars are rarely a laughing matter. If laughter is involved, chances are somebody got it wrong

Unless John Cleese is involved somehow.
