Laugh and the world laughs with you - or at least part of it, I'm not saying which

With help from the Pentagon's chief laughter instructor, families of National Guard members are learning to walk like a penguin, laugh like a lion and blurt "ha, ha, hee, hee and ho, ho."
Laughter instructor!

This is not a drill. Retired Army Colonel James ("Scotty") Scott (giggling a little bit already, aren't you) is certified as a laughter training specialist. No, wait...by somebody from Ohio.

Ba-boom!
"We believe our program prevents hardening of the attitudes," says Scott.
Ba-boom!
"I laugh every chance I get," says the instructor, retired Army colonel James "Scotty" Scott. "That's why I'm blessed to be at the Pentagon, where we definitely need a lot of laughter in our lives."
Ba-boom!

Join the Army and laugh your ass off.

Really, seriously here, folks, military families have a lot of stress to deal with these days and if laughing helps, good on them. I wish them great guffaws. Even more, I wish they didn't have to laugh quite so much.

And I wish the Pentagon would quit clowning around.
