I went to the Cross Foxes tonight with my brother. I drank three pints of Guinness. I need say no more on the subject.

At one point though, we did discuss various occasions where we have wanted to laugh but couldn't. Mostly assemblies and laughing at stomach rumbles but mine in particular is when a colleague was cleaning the tops of some kennels. The stepladder fell down just as he stepped on it and he ended up dangling from a roof beam.

He has a very deep voice and bellowed to me to help, which I did, but he is very tall and was dangling only about a foot from the floor. His legs were waving all over the place and I'm afraid I doubled up with laughter whilst telling him to jump down. He jumped down but Nooo! he jarred his back. Which, made keeping my face straight even harder.. I kept apologising and he answered that he would be laughing too, if he wasn't in so much pain and I'm afraid that was the straw that broke the camel's back.. I had to get out of there! All I had in my head was a picture of a very tall, very thin bloke dangling frantically from a roof beam and I was on my knees laughing!

I am one of those people that occasionally has laugh attacks. Where something happens or a joke is said and suddenly, without me even laughing, I have tears streaming down my face and I am shaking. It happened with a Tommy Cooper joke once.

He was dressed as a postman, and delivered a parcel to a lady. She opened the door and he said "Before I give you the parcel, I just have to play this" and proceeded to play a tape of someone giving birth. After it had finished, the lady said "What was that?" and he answered:
"That was a recorded delivery."

Well, that finished me for literally 35 minutes..

Still, I likes laughin, makes me cheerful, and sound slightly mad. :D
