On the Morning News we pride ourselves on providing equal amounts of news, information, opinion and humor.   We like to say come for the news, stay for the laughter and I guess we could amend it to "life saving" laughter.

Folks who find lots to laugh about are twice as apt to live to retirement age as more dour types, a study in the International Journal of Psychiatry in Medicine notes.

Yet not all humor is healthy. Although those with an affable way of joking have reduced mortality, people with a caustic wit don't reap the same benefits.

Note to self...keep it light!  See you on the Morning News!
