Is Laughter the Best Medicine?

The journal Communication Education has recently published the report "A Review of Humor in Educational Settings: Four Decades of Research."  Four decades is a LOT of research to try and compile into one report, but the authors did a fairly comprehensive job.  The report covers everything from the rate of humor used in the classroom, length of service differences and the types of humor utilized.

Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert provides us with a great example of the appropriateness of humor.
