Prozac Please

Is it the best medicine? With over-the-counter medication abuse on the rise, many people may disagree. It seems that some folks have instead chosen Prozac, nitrous oxide and a variety of ibuprofen and aspirin to kill life's pain. While there is indeed medically justified use of these drugs, one need not be a pharmacologist to suspect that such numbing is a solution of convenience.

However, comedy and appreciating it takes a little effort and perhaps even a sense of humor. And what is intrinsically wrong with simple and ridiculous laughs? Sure, they may take a measure more creativity than shockingly crude humor and jokes at the expense of others.

In all we find the innocence of pure fun refreshing. And, during particularly trying times, a little tomfoolery goes a long way toward regaining normalcy.
