Sorry,I forgot it originated in India.To quote from this wikipedia article on laughter yoga:
"Laughter is simulated as an exercise in a group but with eye contact and childlike playfulness, it soon turns into real and contagious laughter."
And for those who can get it,here's a youtube clip of such a group.
Another youtube clip here [the better of these 2 youtube clips in my opinion] where John Cleese joins in on a group in Mumbai in a BBC doco.I'd love to join in on a group.Looks like a real hoot.

your coming in late at night joke reminds me of this one,which takes us back to the start of Lao Wangs trouble with his wife,when he was out late drinking and reminiscing on how he'd busted his hump...
The Wangs Cuckoo Clock..told by Lao Wang
The other night I was invited out for a night with the guys. I told my wife that I would be home by midnight... "promise!"
Well, the hours passed quickly and the beer was going down way too easy. At 3am, drunk as a skunk, I headed for home.
Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hall started up and cuckooed three times. Quickly, I realized she'd probably wake up, so I cuckooed another 9 times. I was really proud of myself for having such a rapid, witty solution, even when smashed, to escape a possible conflict.
The next morning my wife asked me what time I got in, and I told her 12 o'clock. She didn't seem disturbed at all. Got away with that one, I thought! Then she told me we needed a new cuckoo clock. When I asked her why she said, "Well, last night it cuckooed 3 times, then said, 'oh f**k,' cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another 3 times, giggled, cuckooed twice more.... then 放屁."

I'm a little unclear on your question.If you do literally mean what does "carolynh" mean,you will see by scrolling up that it is someones username.It looks to me like the name Carolyn,and the H may be the first initial of the surname.It has various meanings..female ruler;joyous song and pretty.
If on the other hand you are asking about her joke,the pun was on the words "bar tender" which was referring to both the occupation "bar tender"..the person that "tends" or looks after the bar,and to "soft"..that is the wood the bar is made of for the termite to eat.

hehe,yeah.But I reckon if I'd shouted you a lot of beers at said bar while telling joke,I may have just managed to elicit a bit of a chuckle from you.Heck,that's all this peanut joke needs.Peanuts go great with beer.I could turn it from mildly amusing [which is all I could expect from such a joke....I liked it and agree with Raygo's outlook...it's the sort of joke that's lots of fun telling the kids]..to very funny if we got on enough of a roll.Might need some funnier ones to start it up though,or some laughing gas till you got to the point where anything was funny.Reminds me..do they have any of those laughing groups in China like they do in the west?

...zhen1de ma? Shei? Qin gao su wo... weishenme?
Are we talking a new general trend here,or just individual preferences which vary from person to person?

May 25, 2009 at 11:12 PMA frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack.
"Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday."
Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager.
Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral.
The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office.
She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral."
She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?"
The bank manager looks back at her and says...
"It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."
