My own experiences... one of my sisters and I have always looked at health with humor, coming from a family of hypochondriacs and complainers. We over-exaggerate e.g. when one of us has a headache it's a "brain tumor." If we forget something it's early onset senility. We don't make fun of people with imaginary or overstated health problems. It's just a coping mechanism, like most humor is.
