Jack’s Winning Words 1/25/21 “Reclaiming the belly laugh can cure a world of woes.”  (Jamie Sams)  I see this world in need of a good belly laugh, one that makes our belly shake like a bowl of jelly. Can you tell me something that causes me to have that kind of reaction?  I’ve read that Jimmy Carter once quipped that people were beginning to like him.  “Some of them are beginning to use all of their fingers when they wave at me.”  Self-deprecating humor often produces belly laughs.  ;-)  Jack. FROM WILLMAR REV:  Our local gambling casino put a smile on my face . . . they will come out now to your car and take your money, saving you the chance of encountering the virus!! 0;-)===JACK:  That brought more than a smile, and almost a belly laugh. FROM MD IN BSFL:  "There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works."  AND   "There are three kinds of men.The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves."===JACK: That second caused what I wanted today...a good laugh. FROM M & L IN WB:   Jack, I should get on the computer more often.  You have great stories and words of wisdom.  I can just see Jimmy  saying that!  We visited Plains Georgia over Christmas and greatly enjoyed seeing his birthplace.  He is one of my favorite modern Presidents.  ===JACK:  We  once stopped in Plains and bought a bag of peanuts and also a plastic peanut with a magnet on the back.  But, no Billy Beer.  FROM DM IN LIV:  LOL – This made me laugh out loud.  Thank you!!===JACK:  Mission accomplished. FROM ST PAUL IN ST PAUL:  did you ever notice that Trump never laughs!   he will smirk and occasionally crack a smile or a frown but i have never seen him laugh.   a sign of mental illness?===JACK:  I had thought that you were going to forget Donald after he left the White House.  Speaking of his sense of humor, do you think he cracks a smile when he looks at Jim Carrey's artwork?  FROM BLAZING OAKS:  I got a laugh from this:"I got gas today for $1.39; Unfortunately, it was at Taco Bell!" :-)  A belly laugh can indeed lighten our woes! and brighten any day. I love to laugh!! Thanks!  y 91 yr old BFF fell last week and broke her left arm humorous bone. (not funny!) I've been taking care of her night and day until her dau-in-law arrived today from O to take over for awhile. I needed that laugh!!===JACK:  That Taco Bell joke was a good one.  Tacos go to the belly in more ways than one.  Our taco joint in St. Joseph is called Taco John's...6 for ten bucks...that's gas for $1.66.  Congrats for looking out for a friend.  The world needs more people such as you.
