Today is International Moment of Laughter Day! Make me laugh -- NOW!
From GQ Mag, this was voted as one of the best jokes of all time. Prepare for hilarity:
Two campers are hiking in the woods when one is bitten on the rear end by a rattlesnake. “I’ll go into town for a doctor,” the other says. He runs ten miles to a small town and finds the town’s only doctor, who is delivering a baby. “I can’t leave,” the doctor says. ‘But here’s what to do. Take a knife, cut a little X where the bite is, suck out the poison and spit it on the ground.” The guy runs back to his friend, who is in agony. ‘What did the doctor say?” the victim asks. “He says you’re gonna die.”

LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook can help expand your network and improve your chances at landing interviews.
