So I was on the underground and thinking about earthquakes for some reason, perhaps because I was rushing through the Earth's mantle (or crust of something, I'm not a geologist!) at 40 mph, or perhaps for a different reason.

Anyway I was thinking about earthquakes and, as it would, the phrase "tectonic plates" came into my mind but, a-ha!, I didn't actually think "tectonic plates", I thinked (I know it's not a word, it just should be) "teutonic plates" and I thought just the unwitting word play was kinda funny.

But then I started to think about "teutonic plates" and imagined china plates with sausage on them and then imagined tectonic plates as teutonic plates with the Earth covered in diner plates with huge bratwursts on them, colliding into one an other and creating mountain ranges of mashed up sausage and broken china.

Anyway I couldn't stop laughing by this time and everyone on the train was just looking at me as if I was some lunatic and of course the whole situation of me laughing hysterically on a train because of what I was thinking about was even more funny than the teutonic plates as tectonic plates so I laughed some more.

Cut to the chase, I'm lucky not to be writing this from a padded cell; ever laughed in public at something only you knew about?

Every day. I like people to think I'm crazy. That, and I find life pretty amusing in general.

I'm always laughing or singing the car and people look at me like i'm some idiot.

I like the folks that excavate thier nostrils in the car while driving. What are they thinking!

when i was in 8th grade, something in a book made me laugh for about five minutes straight. and the whole class looked at me and wondered what it was about.

a few years later, i was at an indian restaurant in portsmouth, england with my parents and sister. my sister and i have a tendency to take a funny idea and totally kill it by applying whatever was funny to anything until it gets very unfunny. of course, the goal is to bring it back to being funny. anyway, we did this (have no idea what it was about) for most of the meal. half of the restaurant could barely hold their own conversations because we were laughing so hard and my parents were incredibly embarrassed once they'd stopped laughing and my sister and i continued for maybe another 20 minutes. laughter's contagious.

I can give you an other, if less public, example of this from a few years ago.

It was Christmas and the whole family was at the table for Christmas dinner. My mum was making Christmas conversation with my gran and asked her what my grandpa had given her for Christmas. My gran said "Oh, Roy gave me a pearl necklace" which of course is a lovely and expensive gift but also happens to be a rather disgusting sexual slang term.

As soon as I heard my gran say this (my dads family are very posho middle class British colonial types) of course I just burst into laughter at the table choking on my turkey and with gravy coming down my nose. Everyone just looked at me aghast. I honestly couldn't control myself.

Everyone was rather annoyed at me and kept asking "What are you laughing about!" and I could only respond through the gales of laughter "I can't tell you, I honestly can't tell you!" before erupting again which only annoyed them more.

I had to leave the table to compose myself and probably escape family ostracism.

HA! I got one:

A few days ago I was washing my hands after a good piss in a public restroom (not because my dick is dirty - because the flush handle was wet). Seeing that no one else was around I let out a nice, loud poot (seemed like the right place, definitely the right time).

So just as I do it some guy comes walking through the door. I figured that he heard me, and that I had to do something (or else just be that nasty busted restroom farter), so I started laughing really loud.

Well, apparently the guy didn't hear the poot because he shot me the weirdest look as I stood there laughing at myself in the mirror, all alone in the bathroom except for him.

Or maybe he was just scruntching up his nose from the mysterious and awful smell.

I was at the gas station and saw some dude pumping gas an opening talking to himself. I thought that maybe he was on a cell phone but I didn't see any earpiece or anything.

Last summer I went to one of those Renaissance fairs where they have these actors inside dressed up in 17th century styled clothes. Anyways so I was walking around looking for something to eat when I encountered a hammer dulcimer player so I decided to sit down and have listen instead. So this guy was playing his instrument and his wife was beating a tambourine or something while their children who were there with them there danced around in a circle.

So anyways this young teenager approaches the circle as the song is ending and she's wearing this Viking ensemble that included two silver cups on her chest attached and held together with some sort of with string, fully covering her breasts and also this short chain-mail styled skirt.

As she approaches, the kids stop dancing to have a look at her and of course small children are curious and so they began reaching up to touch her shiny breast plates and the girl was cool with that and laughing and all until the smallest child lifted up her skirt to reveal her shaved, bare naked pussy for everyone to see.

I think at that moment in front of dozens of strangers that girl probably wanted to die. I however, laughed so hard I fell off of the rock I was sitting on.


For some reason I felt compelled to share that with you. Sorry.

As I walked through the door of a restrrom the other day I noticed this putrid smell and heard some guy laughing. There he was, just standing there washing his hands, at the sink and laughing his silly ass off among that SMELL! This wasn't a giggle or the inside joke kind of laugh, but a real odd laugh like he was insane. Must have thought he was in a rose garden or something, breathing in all those fumes. I didn't know what to do so I just went about my business in there trying to bear with the smell. I must have made a face because he looked at me kinda funny.

I think he must have farted.

I crack myself up all the time too. It happened recently at a meeting with this visiting prof and a whole room full of grad students. I won't bore you with the details because it was a stupid inside joke where all myself and friend had to say was "handedness box" and we would bust up. Anyway this visiting prof, much to my incredulity, manages to work this phrase into a conversation about his research. Again, I fucking nearly bust out laughing, but manage to stifle and look weirder probably, mainly due to comical baggage.

I've had a similar situation, only it was stifling laughter due to other people's exhaust notes. I guess I'm like 8 years old mentally, but you try keeping yourself from laughing when farts ring out from all the stalls like a domino effect, as if they'd somehow coordinated it - one after another, and as a whole it sounded like the NBC three-note motif I'm sure most of us know by heart. That's funny stuff.
