Today is World Laughter Day, but try to remember not to be like the guy, Arthur Cobcroft, mentioned in the newspaper clipping reproduced above. Mr. Cobcroft found great amusement comparing aspects of 1915 to the then present day of 1920, and promptly laughed himself to death. Mind you, in the modern era, when comparing the current year with 2019, rather than letting out a hearty guffaw, you're more likely to break down in tears.
Seriously though, take a bit of a time out for some fun (and don't limit it to today only).
Story taken from The Sydney Stock & Station Journal of Friday, the 22nd of October, 1920.
