Orlando, Florida —
Juvenile Court Judge Walter
Komanski was caught by
office workers making print-
outs of pornography in the
courthouse and of keeping
pornographic «videos and
magazines in an office cabi-
net.
He said he kept them at
work only because he had
teenage boys at home and
that, as a responsible parent,
he didn’t want them to jind
his stash.

Also, he said he had
surfed Internet sex sites only
to research how to restrict
them from his kids. (He was
reassigned to finance cases.)

The Wall Sercet Journal
reports thar about 100
“laughing clubs” had sprung
up in India in the last year
based on the philosophy of
Dr. Madan Kartsria, who says
the ancient yoga breathing
and laughing exercises can
help people shed inhibitions,
build self-confidence, stop
smoking, alleviate high
bloed pressure and arthritis,
and stop migraine headaches.

After conventional
stretching, adherents engage
in silent laughs, out-loud
laughs with their lips closed,

and the roaring *Rombay
laugh.”

Dr. Kataria worries only
that some day the govern-
ment might try to tax laugh-
ter.
