Laughing Himself To Death Over Newhope Extension
A Bucks County man, Joe Durblinger, 58, weighs 10 pounds more after three months of laughter at a railroad extension by his farm. The Newhope extension of the Reading railroad, near Walton, began March 1, 1690, drawing his attention, reducing labor, and causing progressive emaciation while he tracks trains and times their passing. His wife hopes the novelty wears off and recovery follows. The report cites Philadelphia Record.
