What is International Joke Day?

On July 1st, the International Joke Day falls at the halfway point in the year. The day encourages laughter. What better way to start the second half of the year than by chuckling and with a smile?

A universal human experience is laughter triggered by a good joke. Any cultures and all peoples laugh, and a good joke is one way to spark laughter. And with that laughter comes good health.. After just one minute of hearty laughter, William Fry, one of laughter research, said it took ten minutes on a rowing machine for his heart rate to reach its peak.
