Today, someone forwarded me a joke email and in the send this to 14390279327645 other people or you'll die 297645 horrible deaths, there was the line "remember that children laugh an average of 146 times a day;
adults laugh an average of 4 times a day."

I got to thinking about how many times a day I laugh. I am *always* laughing. People are always telling me how they love my laugh - my research director told me a few weeks ago how gratifying it was to be around me, because I laugh so much! During the last dig in which I participated, the teams where split up between two parts of a site. The two operations were pretty far from each other, and trees blocked the view from one to the other. The team that was in the section of the site where I wasn't couldn't see anything of our side, but they said they weren't worried : as long as they still heard my laughter (the *only* thing they heard from my side), they knew they hadn't been abandoned in the field.

Which brings me to my questions. Are you someone who laughs a lot? Do you laugh more at home? at work? Do you think you laugh more or less than the average person? Do you laugh because it's expected of you or because you truely are delighted?
