Hiking today, I realized you can't be much happier than a dog with his stick. They look so proud, so excited...just so happy. And they can't help but smile with a stick in their mouth...it's nearly impossible.
Come to find out (from my hiking buddy) there has been a scientific study on this. Two control groups:
1. People with a pen in their mouth
2. People with out
After a specified amount of time, the people with pens in their mouths -- who were ultimately forced to smile -- were actually happier after the allotted time. The penless people -- not as happy.
Am I gullible and have possibly fallen for yet another made up story? Quite possibly. But either way...dogs + sticks = happy.
