In an old farmhouse on the outskirts of this Bavarian capital, a group of 20 Germans are flapping their arms up and down and clucking hysterically like chickens.

"Come on, you chickens, let me hear you cluck, cluck, cluck, and bock, bock, bock, and flap your wings like you mean it," commanded Heiner Uber, a giddy 45-year-old professor of laughter, doing his own best chicken imitation and sending the group into fits of raucous cackling.

@Mork

I don't know if I would laugh or cry to see Germans pretending they were chickens? It would not be a pretty sight.

his next project is to convince the new German chancellor, Angela Merkel, ... to attend one of his schools.
"Give me two weeks with Angie and I'll have her rolling on the floor like a little giggling girl," he said.

You do seem to be online almost all day, every day?!? How should I know?
Editor Bob
Seems that "Laughter yoga" is quite popular in Munich. I found no fewer than three different "laughter clubs" here, each of them with weekly laughter meetings.

kind of sad you actually have to pay someone to make you laugh! huh.gif

They should combine it with the cuddle clubs. Everyone could just tickle each other for an hour or so and see what comes of it.
