“Laughter is like changing a baby’s diaper – it doesn’t permanently solve any problems, but it makes things more acceptable for a while” (gizmotude 1). Can you listen and talk to animals? Eddie Murphy’s movie, Dr. Dolittle, was a barrel of laughs as Eddie Murphy talked to a variety of animals. The saying is that when a person laughs, the world will laugh with them. Cry and you cry alone. When I feel down in the dumps or discouraged, I can put one of Eddie Murphy’s movies into my VCR and laugh. If I could spend time with any one person of my choice, it would be Eddie Murphy. I’d love to learn how he makes the world laugh so that I might make others laugh too. Laughter brings joy to the world.
