couldn't control the laughter

[Foster]

tonight I was at the Blue Note in NYC, for a company function.

I was enjoying the music, even though I'm not the biggest Jazz fan,
when they decided to do a tribute to Louie Armstrong.
They started playing "It's a Wonderful World", but instead of vocals they used the clarinet.
Once the clarinet joined in all I could think about was the Toddley Doo bit Anthony used to do to all the time.

It started off as a giggle, and I was able to suppress it, but urge to laugh just came back again even stronger. I tried thinking of something else and also began to bite my lip, however the laughter kept forcing itself out, to a point where I tears starting to form.

I quickly got up from the table and ran to the bathroom, where I was able to regain control of myself. Just as I was walking out of the bathroom someone from my group was entering, to see if everthing was okay. Apparently, the people at my table thought I was crying. So, instead of telling the truth, that I was laughing for some unexaplainable reason, I quickly made up a story, about how my grandfather used to play that song all the time, and hearing it brought back those memories.

Has anyone else had times like this, where they started laughing at inappropiate times for no reason?

Coincidentally, I also laugh while watching live jazz. However, I love jazz. For some reason, maybe it's sheer joy, but when a drummer is playing a particularly hot solo, I begin to laugh. Can't explain...

I cry too, but that's only because my grandfather raped me with a clarinet. Never had a lesson in his life.

Usually when I go without sleep for two or three days I almost feel like I'm on acid, and just laugh at stupid shit like a maniac.

was lucky and the bathroom was empty, if it wasn't I would've dove into a stall.

maybe lack of sleep had something to do with it, haven't got much in the past few days.

When my cousin Mike got married, the priest sounded like the Very Reverend Minister in The Princess Bride, which made me giggle, but I really lost it when, at the end, the congregation was asked to extend a hand to bless the newly-wedded couple.

My brother Joe & my sister were in the pew in front of Matt & I, and, at first, Joe didn't raise his arm. But then Catherine nudged him and he snapped to attention, clicked his heels and then his arm shot out as if he were a Hitler Youth at a parade.

Matt & I nearly had to leave we were trying so hard not to laugh.

Not sleep for a few days, your body reacts as you you took a narcotic.
