\nIf you\u2019ve ever met Brian Cannon, you\u2019ve probably heard a
\njoke, or three, and seen your share of humorous antics. There is no question
\nthat Brian likes to keep things light in the office and make sure that those
\naround him enjoy coming to work each day.

\n
\n
\nI think laughter is important. There is time for it of course, but I think the more you can smile and laugh the better life you\u2019ll have, and I think it does good for your overall health.
