Is it possible? Yes. Is it likely? No.
If it were to happen, however, it would be as a result of a cognitive shift in your thinking. In other words, you would have to consciously bring it about. It's not going to 'just happen' as a natural consequence, unlike laughing until you cry, which is just a natural progression at times. And to be truly accurate, you're not really 'crying', you're just producing tears. Not the same thing.

Yes, it is possible. Our body response to the kind of stress that enable emotions to be reproduced.
The first being emotions express to balance and relieve the happiness. Babies or young child does the opposite all the time without his/her own logical reasoning. Adults on the other hand the feeling of 'at a loss', 'it does not matter any more' does arrive after a moment of sadness - that's when a person laughs after crying..
'Laughter and tears are two defence mechanisms that allow us to relieve our pent-up emotions and stop us from going stark raving mad...'.
So when one laugh after crying, he/she meant to relieve himself/herself from further deepening that emotion of sadness.
However to laugh after crying is not an acceptable norm and because of this people do withheld this form of action. So if the defence mechanism is not allowed to be exercised, there may be consequences.
There could be so many reasons to different questions. Perhaps you may want to ask whether it is wrong to laugh when people are crying. Anyway we are human and there is no one right answer to everything or suit everyone.

I think it is.
You continue to cry until you convince yourself that you are making a big deal about something that you shouldn't.
Then you might smile a little and laugh at yourself.
Like that Collective Soul song "The World I Know"
"And I laughed at myself, as the tears fall down"

I have done it!!
I have pains and will cry over them, after a while of this baloney it gets rather entertaining! Crying doesn't help anything, well maybe a little! Laughing over this I feel so much better! Does this make me mental? Oh well....

Sure, I've started crying while remembering someone who passed away. Then in the midst of my tears I've remembered a funny memory about the person and started cracking up!

Im not sure. I don't think so because you laugh so hard you begin to tear. When you're crying, you're already tearing and ur just in physical distress...at which point I don't think you would have it in you to laugh.

I have many of times. I've cried about something for so long that it almost became humorous and before I know it, I'm laughing hysterically.
