There is nothing that a good laugh cannot improve. Laughing together is a bridge across worlds and cultures and languages and religions and philosophies. It is the solvent that dissolves all barriers.

Heartfelt sentiment and deep sincerity make me think and make me feel, but it is always humor - always a wonderfully shared laugh - that makes me feel closest to another. I can always spot a true friend in the laughs we easily share.
