Laugh and Get Rich

Today, Feb. 8, is national Laugh and Get Rich Day, according to the good folks at timeanddate.com, a website featuring good-humored holidays for every day of the week. (Jan. 7 was “Old Rock Day,” Jan. 17 was “Ditch New Year’s Resolution Day,” Jan. 20 was “Penguin Awareness Day,” and Jan. 21 was “Squirrel Appreciation Day”).
We should celebrate today’s holiday, the website says, by laughing, telling jokes, and soliciting jokes from friends and co-workers, “to put you in the mood to think up money-making ventures” (“Laugh and Get Rich” is also the name of a 1931 movie comedy starring Edna May Oliver and Hugh Herbert).
Let the celebration begin – a little mid-winter humor. 
Thanks, Marx Brothers (OK, marx-brothers.org)!

Groucho: “I could dance with you ‘til the cows come home … but I would rather dance with the cows ‘til you came home.”
God bless the Marx Brothers.
