What is the hardest you have ever

Last edited Mon Feb 24, 2014, 09:00 PM - Edit history (2)

laughed?

We were having a waterfight at the cottage. I was wild. All of a sudden I came across my dad‘s firefighting tank that you wear like a Knapsack. It has a pump action nossle. We put it on my friend Chuck and were just about peaing ourselves laughing. Tank was full of water. Before we sent him into battle I thought of one more thing. The tank was bright orange. And I went and got my dad‘s orange chainsaw helmet with visor and ear protectors. We put it on Chuck too. He looked like a transformer. We were laughing so hard. I could not wait to see the faces of the other team when we send chuck in. They fell down laughing. LOL!

Some of the routines made me laugh so hard I was exhaling so much I couldn't breathe in.

kept joking about that comedy team. I went out and bought it. I could not stand it after the first few minutes. Threw it out.

3. When Monty Python's The Meaning of Life was released

and I saw it in the theater with friends. I was laughing hardest at the "live organ transplant" and "Monsieur Creosote" scenes so hard that I was about to fall onto the floor of the theater (I guess I still had enough sense to know not to do that part!)

It's not that funny to me now, but it was when I was that younger age. Eddie Izzard and Lewis Black do that to me now

I was on the couch watching something on my computer. My roommates were in the other room. I had my headphones on so I wouldn't disturb them. I think that they were studying. I burst out laughing and couldn't stop. They both rushed in to check on me. They couldn't tell if I was crying or laughing so they were worried that something bad had happened.

the librarian really didn't like me and a couple of my friends. And she had good reason. She had bright red hair and a temper to match. We were about to get into some mischief when I saw her coming and said without thinking, "Red alert." We looked at each other for a pregnant moment and fell in the floor laughing. Then we got thrown out.

6. Too many times from which to choose.

It almost always happens when my siblings and I get together. Sometimes its over really stupid stuff, too. Once, I laughed myself into tears for like 5 minutes, and gave myself a gut-ache when my older sister said that my younger sister has a unibrow. I don't know why I found that so funny at the time, and it still makes me chuckle years later. I just know it was more the word than the actual idea that my sister had a unibrow. They had me rolling again a few months ago. I don't remember what got me laughing, but my stomach ached for an hour afterward.

screaming "NO MORE MUSH". I kept hitting him and trying to get him to shut up which I do if people are being rude. Then I realized he was yelling "NO MORE BUSH". We laughed hard.

Came on Dave Barry's "Martian Death Flu" column. I laughed and coughed so hard I passed out.


The 'Martian Death Flu' Inches From Carpet, Molecules Hit Eyeballs

BY DAVE BARRY
Posted: April 02, 1986

We have the flu. I don't know if this particular strain has an official name, but if it does, it must be something like "Martian Death Flu." You may have had it yourself. The main symptom is that you wish you had another setting on your electric blanket, up past HIGH, that said ELECTROCUTION.

Another symptom is that you cease brushing your teeth, because (a) your teeth hurt, and (b) you lack the strength. Midway through the brushing process, you'd have to lie in front of the sink to rest for a couple of hours, and rivulets of toothpaste foam would dribble sideways out of your mouth, eventually hardening into crusty little toothpaste stalagmites that would bond your head permanently to the bathroom floor, which is how the police would find you.

You know the kind of flu I'm talking about.

I had a job as an accountant at a sort of a theme park thing. We'd count a million dollars a day. During the boring time waiting for the bags to arrive we'd sit around cracking jokes. Given it was an office environment we'd try to keep it relatively clean. I suddenly discovered that somebody with a really filthy mind could take the name of a local hardware shop chain really really the wrong way. I started giggling, then laughing, then convulsing then looking like I was going to fall off my chair. It was obvious I was either killing myself laughing or having a seizure. Of course I couldn't explain the joke and could only gasp "I'm OK. I'm OK. You don't want to know." Took me about 1/2 hour to get myself under control.

The first time I saw "Young Frankenstein"--the scene at the blind man's house.

"My name's Harold. What's yours?"

"Grrrnnnhhhhrrrrgh!"

"I didn't catch that"
