Laughter releases the endorphines for relieving stress. People with a good sense of humour are generally people that you can get on with because mostly, though not always, a good sense of humour indicates a degree of intelligence. You often find yourself surrounded with stupidity and that is where you find the braying donkey laughter of a faulty sense of humour or the stern face of someone who doesn\\&#8217;t get what it is that you are trying to say.<\/p>\n<p>What should you do with these people, if there is anything to do with them? Regard them as you would a turnstile on a path &#8212; something you must get over. For god\\&#8217;s sake don\\&#8217;t laugh at them; laughter is anathema to some people and if they hear it they will disappear in a cloud of smoke like the wicked witch in <i>The Wizard Of Oz.<\/i> Can you hate the humourless?
