When did you laugh last?
No, I do not mean what you are talking about. Not just ha, and you stop like the gentleman you are. No, not that one!
I mean, the true African laugh. You throw all your caution to the wind, forgetting yourself and really getting into the laugh.

Throw your hands back and open your larynx really wide and bellow the laughter. Hit it real hard in such away that others join you involuntarily. Laugh for about five minutes till tears start rolling down your cheeks.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha........!"

Let it out as loud as a bellow engine.
Do it as if your life depends on it again.
Roll on the floor as one possessed by a demon.
Fill it as you fill lemonade with lemon.
Remove all remorse and guilt.
Laugh to remove arrows from the quilt.
Laughter is medicine.
Laughter is not bitter as quinine.
