RE: Is happiness infectious?
Not just happiness...either....

http://cureviolence.org/the-model/
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I think asking someone "pineapple or cactus?" is also infectious -- not that I'm asking you that, Hammie, you're good folk and all ... just poking around, so to speak, of course. Smile

Somewhat, but not in a medical sense.

Yeah, anecdotes, but I had an experience where I saw my therapist while manic and it rubbed off on her and she went out and impulse bought two leather chairs for her therapy space. Damn comfortable chairs, too. She jokingly blames me for the $1500 expense. I told her that the money I've paid her for the last 8 years more than covers it. Plus, write it off, yo.

I don't think there's any magic involved, but I do think the people we surround ourselves with can have a significant effect on mood. I'm not aware of any science that backs up that belief, however.

When in doubt, nothing delivers a message like a phallic-shaped cactus.

There are times I wish my middle finger had radial spines so I could deliver the message wordlessly.

Some situations (solitary endeavors) can inspire happiness too. It's damn hard for me to be in a bad mood when I'm out riding trails on the ATV.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I dunno what an ATV is but it sounds cool.
