Quotes
The coughs of a catfish are worse than its bite.
Laughter is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one place - the vocal cords. It's a combination of flexing the muscles of the torso, neck and face, as well as breathing in and out and making funny noises from the larynx. If it were easy to laugh by choice, everyone would do it whenever they felt like it, and it would have become as involuntary and as frequent as coughing. But it's not.
Coughs and sneezes spread diseases.
