Spinoza once said: "...smile and the world smiles with you, cry...and you cry alone".

Well obviously it's a lot more fun to laugh! When it comes to laughter, it's difficult to say who the better comedians are - men or women, but certainly funny ladies Goldie Hawn and Meg Ryan are right up there in the mix, no matter what the outcome is.

They are not afraid to be funny ladies and that makes them even more attractive and appealing.

Goldie Hawn is funny. It is so amazing how this woman - interesting but not especially beautiful - has become so loved and popular. Her characters in Hollywood movies are silly, awkward and charmingly innocent ladies who always find themselves in crazy situations. There were not so good at managing their problems and all their attempts lead to making the problems even more and more serious. But still they mange to keep their composure and ultimately come out on top. The fact that Goldie Hawn's characters were so funny seems to make men even more and more crazy about her. Her optimistic view of the world helped her both in imagined and real lives. And you know, all her movies have a happy ending.

Goldie Hawn has come along way from being a member of the cast of "Laugh-In". She played the role of the ditzy blond perfectly. But behind that silly exterior was a smart business woman. Try and think of any of the cast members now. Goldie Hawn is the only one still active in the industry.

But the career of funny ladies in Hollywood is a tough one. As Goldie Hawn and Meg Ryan have gotten older, the starring roles for female comedians have gotten younger. Thus forcing these too funny ladies to come up with new ways of winning fans. Goldie Hawn has relied less on her looks and more on her sense of humor when it comes to earning a living. She has made a relatively comfortable transition playing a middle-aged housewife, co-starring along with Steve martin and other "mature" male comedians.

Meg Ryan on the other hand, is a very beautiful woman and her comedic talent makes her so easy-going and so appealing, while most of the "beauties" are usually too self-centered that are even not able to relax and just live. That is why so many men go crazy about funny ladies like Meg Ryan. She has passion and she is able to laugh at herself. Like Goldie Hawn she lives a quiet life. And Meg is a rare guest of yellow press publications - she can laugh at her self and is not afraid to be laughed at. That is why she is of no interest for yellow press journalists.

There are different kinds of humor - humorous situations, play on words or even silly stories that are funny just because they are simply silly. Humor and sarcasm are the best way to appreciate a person or humiliate him. There is also a saying that the best love making is when people are laughing in bed. We see the laughter is the great warfare in the hands of crafty men. It can fight for better and for worse. And there are some people who help us to handle it. They smile at themselves and teach us with their own example. So smile, please, and remember what Spinoza said!
