I've probably written about this before, but nothing feels quite as good as intense gut-laughter. I'm talking about the kind where you completely lose control -- you can't breathe, your stomach tightens, and tears start to flow. I love it when something is so damn funny it overwhelms me. It can happen at any time and there's nothing you can do to suppress it. My brother used to embarrass the shit out of me in church as kids when he'd do something completely inappropriate and crack my ass up. There are times when I'm alone, like on the way to work, when something totally random -- some memory or joke or other bit of goofiness -- will pop into my head from out of nowhere and I'll just about have to pull over I'm laughing so hard.I feel bad for people who haven't experienced this sensation. I hope there aren't many who haven't. I think laughter is something that unites us all. We're always on the lookout for something funny. If anyone knows someone who doesn't laugh, let me know. I want to have a crack at them.
Here are a few samples of what I'm talking about. These are reruns for some of you, but due to the recent massive influx of new visitors, I thought they were worthy of reposting:
Jen @ Casual Slack cracks me up.
Me cracking up watching TV.
Edited to add: After posting this I went back and watched the first video and I STILL crack up at it. Who knew a photoshopped Eli Manning post would get so much comedic mileage with me. I think this is like the fourth post I've written about it.
