A good cackle can go a long way even when times get tough and the painkillers aren’t exactly working.

 

"What Had Happened Was" host Amelia Robinson laughed it out (A LOT) with Kristen Wicker and Dayton Daily News food contributor Alexis Larsen, her co-conspirators in Cackle, a laughing club. 

The trio has called on the power that is laughter in so many good times and some pretty bad ones.

What’s funnier than getting a port put in for cancer treatment? Joking that you are at the hospital to be turned into a straight-up Borg from “Star Trek.”

>> The gift of cancer: Why I’ve never felt luckier

What’s funnier than being diagnosed with 70 fibroid tumors? Being teased for not making it to 80.

>> Why it’s not OK to ask someone if they’re having kids

In good times and bad, cackle it out and wear costumes.
