The old saying 'Laughter is good for the soul' is not only wise, but there is medical evidence backing up the notion. Here's a nice 2009 review of some published studies:

Hope this gives a chuckle. And the funniest part of her being a meme is that the actress' last name is Ramsay (A joke only GOT fans will get).
