Major Turns to Giggle Clinic

Prime Minister John Major, whose popularity is at a record low, has turned to a “giggle clinic” to cheer himself up, Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper reported Friday.

Psychotherapist Robert Holden told the paper that his clinic teaches people how to combat stress by having a good laugh.

Holden’s first advice for Major, often dubbed gray for his lack of charisma, would be to try “transcendental chuckling”--sitting cross-legged in front of his wife, Norma, and a mirror and laughing for two minutes for no reason whatsoever.
