All anyone needs to do is to laugh loud and long to feel good and better. Yes, it works. It's not a cure-all for aging and not a Fountain of Youth . . . simply a Fountain of Humor™ for seniors. It is a supply of funny jokes and stories that really helps, for a while, to reduce the depression about aging, the loss of loved ones, chronic illness, loss of sight, sound and mobility. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur jokes and stories are provided through our unique process of selection, customization and cleansing by our \"Joke-Jury.\" This combined publication of text and audio has been designed so that:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA blind or partially blind person can hear the jokes and laugh. \u003cbr\u003eA deaf or partially deaf person can see the jokes and laugh. \u003cbr\u003eA healthy person can see and hear the jokes and laugh. \u003cbr\u003eEven the dying find something to laugh about for a moment in time and will ask for more jokes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy father-in-law, terminally ill with cancer, called often in his last year asking my wife and me to read a joke or two to him. Hearing him laugh from miles away also opened the door to comforting conversation and made it easier for all of us. This is mighty important for all of us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn 85-year-old, losing her mental capacities, repeatedly asked for our jokes to be read to her. It comforted her right up to her passing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA professional woman purchased the set for \"signing\" to groups of deaf people. She works with them as the audio version plays the jokes for her. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstructions are provided on how to read them to diverse senior audiences in institutional settings or families or to their friends. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe believe that the elderly, infirmed, families or just two people enjoy the togetherness and communal feeling that laughter brings. People love having jokes read to them. That \"legitimizes\" laughing out loud. Everyone wants to laugh, whether they are kids age 1 or 100.","brand":"eBookIt.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084074565872,"sku":"2940015015959","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015015959_p0.jpg?v=1763618735","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015015959","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
