Dying from being too happy

Slavador Dali once said "There are some days when I think I'm going to die from an overdose of satisfaction." Is it possible to die from being so overwhelmed with satisfaction.  Maybe it could trigger some kind of disorder where the chemical in the brain that is happiness is too abundant, so the brain would pump in too much of the opposite chemical causing health problems, depression, or suicide.  Or maybe a happy overload might happen, and the person would spontaneously combust.

MUSK DEER

The craziest looking deer ever is the musk deer.  Native to Russia, the musk deer could be one of the weirdest looking animals I have seen in a while.  I saw a show on this deer and apparently its musk is very sought after.  I heard that a person can get around 45,000 dollars for 2 pounds of its musk.  I dont even fully understand what musk is.

I work at a halloween haunting place in rural New Jersey.  My boss is about 50 years old and a very interesting person.  Last friday, I was talking to him at my section of the haunted trail and all of the sudden he dropped low to the ground and looked like he was about to pull some kind of karate move.  He spread his arms out, kept really low, and started walking towards the woods.  He looked not unlike a lion stalking its prey. I was startled because we where having a normal conversation and out of no where, he went into prowling mode.  I learned later that he thought he had heard someone in the woods and thought they might be trying to sneak into the place without paying.  I think he may have been a hitman or a spy of some sorts back in his younger days because he moved so stealthily, it even creeped me out and I was standing behind him.
