If you read my blog, you know that I’m a firm believer that laughter increases happiness and joy and has positive effects on our health and well-being.

You also probably know that I’m a professional writer. One of my latest projects was editing a humorous book for Col. Charles H. Booth, Jr., known to his friends and family as “Chuck.”

Chuck is 95-years-old, although you’d never guess it. Sharp as a tack and full of energy. He survived as a combat pilot during World War II and has seven children, 19 grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, four stepchildren, and seven step-grandchildren.

This businessman and philanthropist  has many friends that send him emails full of jokes and decided he would take the best of them and publish his very first book.

Here is one of the many jokes from his book, The World’s Funniest Internet Jokes, especially timely with New Year’s Eve just around the corner:
