Laughter Works-Take a Look

I want to thank my cousin David (again) for a timely, useful and entertaining link.

I especially like the quote from Oregon AFL-CIO President Tom Chamberlain:

"When people laugh together, when they have a good time together, guess what? They develop a relationship. That’s what we’re trying to do."

Again my question is, if there is so much empirical and scholarly evidence that laughter, humor, fun, etc. enrich the workplace, why isn't it a more intentional part of an organization's culture?
