    About this ebook

    The Fountain of Humor Number 2, available as an eBook and as an audiobook.

    It is a collection of jokes and stories. These jokes can be read and listened to or read and/or played to people who live, work or love others. The material is helpful to mind and body. It is funny, tasteful and likely to make most people laugh out loud.

    It's all about feeling good, feeling much better, reducing sad feelings, healing mind and body. All anyone needs to do is to laugh loud and long to feel good and better. Yes, it works. It's not a cure-all for aging and not a Fountain of Youth . . . simply a Fountain of Humor for all. It is a supply of funny jokes and stories that really helps, for a while, to reduce the depression about aging, the loss of loved ones, chronic illness, loss of sight, sound and mobility.

    Our jokes and stories are provided through our unique process of selection, customization and cleansing by our "Joke-Jury." This combined publication of text and audio has been designed so that:

    A healthy person can see and hear the jokes and laugh.
    A blind or partially blind person can hear the jokes and laugh.
    A deaf or partially deaf person can see the jokes and laugh.
    Even the dying find something to laugh about for a moment in time and will ask for more jokes.

    My father-in-law, terminally ill with cancer, called often in his last year asking my wife and me to read a joke or two to him. Hearing him laugh from miles away also opened the door to comforting conversation and made it easier for all of us. This is mighty important for all of us.

    An 85-year-old, losing her mental capacities, repeatedly asked for our jokes to be read to her. It comforted her right up to her passing.

    A professional woman purchased the set for "signing" to groups of deaf people. She works with them as the audio version plays the jokes for her.

    How Best to Use Fountain of Humor in Groups:
    Instructions are provided on how to read them to diverse audiences in institutional settings or families or to their friends. We believe that the elderly, infirmed, families or just two people enjoy the togetherness and communal feeling that laughter brings. People love having jokes read to them. That "legitimizes" laughing out loud. Everyone wants to laugh, whether they are kids age 1 or 100.

      The Fountain of Humor™ — Number 2

      Guidance to Those Who Read or Play Our Jokes and Stories

      How Is It Used?

      1. Laughing out loud, and louder yet . . . is vital. Encourage it and model it.

      2. Prepare by reading, knowing and mastering the joke. Laugh along with the audiobook to learn.

      3. Playing our audiobooks of Chris Strong reading with handouts of the jokes will also work well. Or play this in your own car for yourself. It beats tweeting for safety.

      4. You can play our audiobooks with a PowerPoint presentation on a screen.

      5. Reading to people who can see the jokes and stories is important.

      Why?

      1. It works best!

      2. Laughing is best, healthiest in a group of two or one hundred.

      It is communal and contagious.

      3. Great in one-to-one even with the seriously ill.

      4. Don’t cover too many at one time, based on your knowledge of your audience.

      5. The repetition of jokes that work well is well worth it. People love hearing a good joke or story again—most of us butcher jokes in telling them after we hear or read them.

      This can’t happen when using the Fountain of Humor way . . .

      6. You can access the precise jokes on the audiobooks because they are listed in order for you.

      7. Feel free to reproduce the text for your own needs.

      The Three Ways to Use Them:

      1. Play AUDIOBOOKs with Chris Strong reading and handout text to groups or individuals.

      2. Master the telling of the jokes on the audiobooks.

      3. For Special Needs.

      Examples of Special Needs:

      1. Our 23-year old recording engineer loves them for his grandmother—and as a part-time bartender he loves telling them to patrons.

      2. My father-in-law, terminally ill, called often in his last year asking my wife and me to read a joke or two to him. Hearing him laugh from miles away also opened the door to comforting conversation and made it easier for all of us.

      3. An 85-year old, losing mental capacities, at first enjoyed and then repeatedly asks for our jokes to be read to her.

      What We Do

      We provide jokes and stories targeted to people who live with, work for, or love people.

      The material is:

      • Helpful to mind and body

      • Funny

      • Tasteful

      • Likely to make most humans laugh out loud

      We did all the work. All you need to do is LAUGH LOUD AND LONG to feel good.

      It’s all about feeling good, feeling much better, reducing sad feelings, healing mind and body. Yes, it works for you and yours.

      Not a cure-all for aging and not a Fountain of Youth.

      It is simply, a supply of funny jokes and stories that truly helps for a while to reduce depression about aging, loss of loved ones, chronic illness, loss of sight, sound and mobility and then . . . it works again and again.

      It’s valuable to any mature, healthy young people who love to laugh because of our surprise endings.

      An elixir of joy
