Sharp humor may not be for everyone. However, research suggests that those who do enjoy it likely have a higher IQ. 

In a 2016 paper, researchers in Austria argued that even those who enjoy dark humor have higher verbal and nonverbal intelligence. This is because processing and producing one’s own sense of humor requires emotional and cognitive abilities.

Humor with wit is widely appreciated, especially in a professional setting. According to experts, a working environment with some laughter attracts and retains employees and helps make the company’s brand more relatable. 

As workplace expert and best-selling author Lynn Taylor stated in an interview with Forbes, humor shows “maturity and the ability to see the forest through the trees.”

Humor is a known icebreaker for any situation. A well-delivered joke can put a tense boardroom at ease or douse the fire on a heated argument with a significant other. It can also make you think clearly. 

As explained by international business speaker Michael Kerr, it happens from a shift in mindset. 

“People who laugh in response to a conflict tend to shift from convergent thinking where they can see only one solution, to divergent thinking where multiple ideas are considered.”

A giggle can do wonders for your ill feelings if you need cheering up or stress relief. Kerr calls it a “triple whammy” because, for one, it can provide a “cognitive shift” in your perspective of your stressors. At the same time, humor and laughter offer both physical and emotional relaxation.

We had a case here where a lady had a chokolate and then almost died from her own saliva (not the chocolate piece, just saliva )

My parents just explained it to me. They simplified explained what they need the money for and I think it's the best to be open at the beginning with how the world works. (Same with sex education)

I believe with all my heart that Shameless re-used the ER set, so when Frank was in the hospital he could re-live his Morgenstern years :)

With my luck, I'd get attacked by a shark the moment after this photo is taken.

Actually, this is the best method for this specific traffic situation. It's the so-called "zipper merge". https://living.acg.aaa.com/auto/zipper-merge-keeps-traffic-moving

I think we're specifically looking at the guy blocking both lanes at once and thus preventing a sensible zipper merge. People in this country do it too, because they feel people are "pushing in" if they do the actual recommended thing and use both lanes to merge.

Alternately merging works well, but Irish drivers don't believe in it! They keep going in the closing lane and then do their best to force their way in front of all the vehicles they just passed.

The ones that annoy people in the UK are the ones that see the merge sign way ahead when there's space, then see the merging or fully merged traffic and put their foot down to drive past 30 single file cars only to try an nip in at the front.

It's not just in the UK, and it's why the zipper merge is a good idea...on paper.

I've always thought the fact we need velvet ropes to force us into an orderly queue is a red flag for the continuation of our species. Still one more reason we should be tested prior to voting and procreating.

When you see a mile or two back that the lane is closing, you can begin the zipper merge then instead of waiting until the last 5 feet and that also depends on people starting out at safe following distances which is not being demonstrated here.

But starting the zipper merge early makes the queue longer than is necessary, potentially blocking the previous junction(s)! We should always fill both lanes to capacity, not merge early.

Those f*****s that bypass the line and come up on the left so they can merge will be sitting there until Christ comes back to earth.

Not just merges... yields, 4 way stop signs, intersections with blinking red lights, school bus stop signs, school drop off and pick up rules, fast lane vs slow lane....so so so so so SO many more

You're just going to spend money on food to cook at home that you won't enjoy as much as the restaurant version.
