"And frame your mind to mirth and merriment,
which bars a thousand harms and lengthens life."*
-William Shakespeare, Taming of the Shrew
*Note: Be ye pregnant or suckling thy young, consult ye thy midwife ere you assay a regimen of Merriment or Mirth. Useth ye only as thou art directed. Void where it might be circumscribed by the Queen's wishes or edict of the privy council. Claims of longevity have been neither evaluated nor verified by Her Majesty, her health ministry or the FDA. Frameth your mind at thine own risk. Do not frame your mind whilst operating heavy equipment such as a catapult or printing press. Some studies performed by the grumpiest of scientists indicate grumpy people are more highly evolved.
