It feels good to laugh-- your brain releases endorphins and and all that jazz. Crying sucks because it makes your nose snotty and stuffy. Your eyes get puffy and you look like crap for an hour or so afterward. If you happen to cry at work, you'll look weak. Then you'll become have to become somebody's bitch. I think that's how it goes......I'm not really sure!

Don't rely on that in regards to crying.  It's  possible to not be able to stop, and for it to last so long one wonders and then fears that it will never stop . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

When it first came out kids started mistaking windshield wiper fluid for it, and there were several poisonings.

Kids are eating laundry pods these days now instead.

Sort of related: I've known a few people with the misconception that tear ducts are where the tears come from (including myself when I was a kid), but the lacrimal glands are actually located in the upper orbital area, and the ducts are just for drainage (I guess the name wasn't enough of a hint for me). So, when you cry and your nose gets snotty, it's actually getting teary.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Depends on the individual. I can't stand it for myself, too itchy.
