You ever see those people who are always smiling? No matter what they're doing: driving, shopping or even pumping gas, they are doing it with a smile. Are they really that happy to be inhaling fumes?

Maybe they are that happy, if they live in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas ranked highest among America's 10 biggest metro areas, according to the Harris Poll Happiness Index. Americans in Dallas/Fort Worth are more likely than those in any of America's other top markets to qualify as "very happy" (38%, vs. an average of 33%). The least happy of the 10 metro areas is San Francisco, with only 28% of its residents qualifying as "very happy."
