Finally Friday: Did you ever laugh so hard you thought you’d die?

Good Morning Humboldt County!

Glad you could join me this morning. The coffee’s hot and we’re burning daylight so let’s get with it shall we?

Have you ever laughed so hard you couldn’t get your breath and thought you were going to choke to death? A comedian named Jim Dailakis knows what that’s like. According to Dr. Martin Samuels, professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School, blacking out while laughing may be related to over-breathing, and is probably not too dangerous.

Dude! Tossed pot lands on police cruiser!

AP - State police say a man's effort to ditch some drugs from a moving car in western New York didn't exactly go as planned. Troopers with the state police Thruway detail say 20-year-old Sean Schmidt was standing with his upper body sticking out the sunroof of a vehicle traveling on Interstate 190 in Buffalo late Monday night.

When a trooper following in a state police cruiser activated the car lights to pull the other vehicle over, Schmidt threw a small bag of marijuana, which landed on the hood of the trooper's car.Troopers say Schmidt was ticketed for marijuana possession and not wearing a seat belt.

The coffee has kicked in and it’s time for me to head on down the road…
