Happy Encounters: America's First Laughing Competition!

Believe it or not, but it's true!  Came across this article and didn't know such competition exists  Though it happened back in 2011 but still an interesting idea!  Definitely agree that lauhing can be contagious. 

The Laughman - The most contagious laugh in the world


It's no joke: The United States' first-ever laughing championship takes place Saturday in San Luis Obispo, Calif., and a few dozen gigglers, guffawers and chortlers will yuck it up in hopes of winning the coveted title of "California's Best Laugher."

We're serious: It's a laughing contest and the contestants will compete in events such as "Best Diabolical Laugh" and "Most Contagious Laugh" and face off in "Laughter Duels" to see who can make the other person crack up most.
