The Road to Enlightenment Revised

Humor is indeed one of the best medicines there are, whenever you are. Pretty much anyone with internet access can easily read a joke or listen to a comedian just to get a good belly laugh in. Despite what's happening in that moment, doesn’t it feel like it's better to find a good laugh to clear your mind and THEN face your troubles, than to tackle whatever you are going through in anger with clouded vision?  I think so.
 
I am a huge fan of zen jokes.  They satisfy my desire to laugh AND are deep enough to push me to think.  So in case you needed a laugh today, here is one of my favorite inspirational jokes.  Share your thoughts after the jump.
