Sense of humour?

I have just recently discovered that I may be suffering from a fairly new and rare disease called called Humornesia???? It is apparently caused by stress and anxiety which in acute cases the sufferer is unable to recall or remember how to laugh or have a humorous experience. I thought it was just a load of crap until I conducted some of my own intensive research. I first checked out the signs and symptoms which revealed a lot about myself. So here of some of the symptoms, firstly the swollen bottom lip. The bottom lip actually swells to the point where it literally gets so heavy that it begins to get heavy and sag, in some rare cases it gets so heavy that it hangs completely away from the bottom row of teeth leaving them completely exposed. The next one is called "droop" ya it's when the shoulders start to hang much the same as the lip does, only this time the shoulders push down and forward which causes the head to constantly look downward. This may be the reason why the lip hangs forward when all swollen like that. So this covered the most obvious physical symptoms, so here are some other signs which are not always so obvious. The ability to speak coherently is affected drastically, so when prompted for a response from someone, the sufferer may only be able to mumble something like "mm" or "ha" but nothing more. When sufferers are able to speak they can only talk about "themselves" they have no way of feeling any sense of emotion for anyone else other than themselves. It is mostly made up of morbid concepts such as, wanting to die, or just wanting go to sleep for a protracted length of time. There are many other signs and symptoms which are too difficult for me to include here because I think I may be suffering from this disease. There is a cure however. One can receive both medical and therapeutic help, but I prefer the option of complementary care or what they call alternative treatment. The search goes on and eventually I find out how one can get help the "organic" way, the way nature intended. One can contact a qualified therapist and make an appointment which only lasts about 15 minutes, however one needs to allow some time for recovery as it can be quite stressful at first. One is first briefly interviewed by the therapist, then the ankle of either leg gets tethered to a steel hoop anchored into the floor. Then the therapist applies a swift kick to the groin (for men only) The pain apparently runs directly through to ones brain releasing a strong urge to strike back, hence the reason for being tethered to the floor. When one is able to get one's breath back and stand upright, one is confronted with the sight of the therapist rolling on the floor in a fit of laughter. After a little time chemicals are injected by some hormones into the brain like a jolt of electricity which release the laughter response and one begins to join the therapist in laughter and ones sense of humour returns...for the time being at least. Well they do say that the best medicines are not very nice. So I guess the best remedy for sufferers of Humornesia is a swift kick in the nuts. Laughter is the best medicine and if one finds oneself unable to laugh at oneself from time to time then best you go see your therapist or at least let your partner give you a swift kick in the gonads.
