Did you ever get the giggles in church?

Question

I was at a funeral recently and the nigh before I had watched a comedian tell a joke about the way the priest says "The Lamb Of God" as soon as the priest said "The Lamb Of God" I keeled over and laughed so loud the whole church stared at me.

It was so embaressing but when you get the giggles it jsut can't be helped, I kept chuckeling for the whole service!

Have you ever got the giggles in chruch?

It was my uncle's funeral and I'm sure he would have been cracking up to so I'm sure I'm forgiven!

Answer 1

I got the giggles once in church, but fortunately I wasn't alone. The Priest had one of those portable microphones on and during the a hymn, he left the altar. It was apparent because he had his mic on that he was taking a dump in the bathroom. To make matters worse, he was humming while he pooped. You could hear ever detail down to the toilet paper routine. When he came back to the altar, I completely lost it along with half the church. You'd have to have been there, but it was one of the funniest moments I've ever had.

Answer 2

I asphyxiate in churches....

Giggling isn't an option when you're unconscious through lack of oxygen.
One of these days I'll figure out why it happens, but I'm figuring it is part psychosomatic and part olfactory oversensitivity to particular stimuli.
I've been carried out of almost every funeral I've ever been to... and somewhat distracted attention from the other corpse at the front.

Answer 3

Yes, when I was 13 a friend and I sang a duet for Easter
service. While we were practicing earlier that week, instead of singing : "Mightily triumph over His foes" I sang "Mightily
triumph over His toes!" Well, my friend and I could not
stop laughing in practice, so when we sang in church,
we tried hard not to laugh at that part, but started
giggling a lot anyway and could not stop for a while.
The church members were curious about what all the
giggling was about! He He

Answer 4

I did when I was a kid, although I never went to Sunday services (we weren't raised to go to church) I was in the St John Ambulance, and we attended the Remembrance Day services......during the 2 minutes silence, my best friend and I couldn't control our giggling.
Now I am a Christian, I am in a very open and friendly church where laughter is a part of the fabric of the family.

Answer 5

OMG, i cant beleive it happened to you at a funeral LOL. Well im not a church goer but my mother in law is a christian so she asked us to go along to a carol service last xmas eve, went along the two of us and the two kids, i had warned them not to misbehave and do not gigle. but... by the last carol all the regulars went out to thye front to face everyone and sing the last hymn, well the minister started to jump about whilst singing and worshipping, that was it for me, by the end of the song i was crying my partner was in tears and the kids cud hardly stand up. we are going back this year, as it was a nice service, put us in the xmas spirit but i just hope he doesnt start dancing about again, itll be doubl the agony just coz ill be waiting for it.

Answer 6

My daughter and I were at a christening last weekend, and when the priest was genuflecting all I could think of was Father Dougal (in Father Ted) trying to cross himself and mucking it up and when it got to the part when the priest was breaking up the communion wafers, the Eddie Izzard sketch 'pope man and Altar boy' came to mind - i just couldn't stop giggling! x

Answer 7

Funny story there!

Once, my sister and I were in church, and I whispered something to her about a hot guy down the aisle. We both busted out laughing, we couldn't help it.
Unfortunately, as our dad told us later, we had chosen an inopportune time to laugh. The pastor was talking about persecution. He said, "Christians all around the world are DYING every day". Right after he said that, we started in on our laughing fit!

My dad was embarassed, but we thought it was awesomely funny. I think God was amused too, he knows we didn't mean it! :)

Answer 8

Been there, seen it, and also did it. It's ungovernable.
Said 'ungovernable' speaks of "evil concupiscence",
an ungovernable desire to do the very thing forbidden.
It is mentioned by Paul, and root of it is "another law",
like "the second" in Mt 22:36-40 and 2nd in Rom 8:2.
It can get as bizzare as people sounding like animals.
So I quit all churches, and their funerals, and it stopped.
POINT: His Grace is neither Law Law, nor Law vs Law.

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Answer 9

In church, but never to the point I have disturbed the whole service. I would go downstairs before it got that bad. My husband and I got the giggles last night in church and we couldnt even sing the song that the whole church was singing.

Answer 10

Often! The worst was at my father's funeral.
My mother-in-law was sitting behind my mother, myself and her beloved son (my husband). My mother and myself were being typically stoic. As the coffin started to move through the curtains, my mother-in-law let out an audible sob. My mother whispered to me, 'Did she have something going with your father?' We both tried to pretend our fit of giggles were suppressed tears, whining or even wailing. Not to worry. We both new that my father would have enjoyed the joke.
