God built us with a sense of humor. He Himself certainly must have a sense of humor - just look at some of the hilarious bodies wandering around the shopping mall! We need to laugh. In fact, human beings are the only creatures that laugh. The more carefree your soul, the more you laugh. That's why kids, unburdened as they are by the weight of the world, laugh over 300 times a day. (Compare that figure to the sour, debt-ridden adult laugh-count of around 15 times a day. Yikes!) Since humor is so important to teenagers, we're always on the lookout for videos and memes that will MAKE YOU LAUGH. Check these out!
