Thanks for the chuckle.
Boehner was onto something. Heard this once and looked it up today:
“Emotional tears contain more toxic byproducts than reflex tears (caused by irritation), and can thus flush out many toxins and stress hormones. Crying for extended periods of time releases oxytocin and endorphins. These feel-good hormones can help diminish both physical and emotional pain.” — Allisonville Eye Care Center
