When Was the Last Time You Laughed When You?

Question

weren't supposed to?

I thought of this when I read old stories from other folks (in the paper). One was a young man at his granfathers funeral. Grandma was sitting on a chair at the burial site. They did the 21 gun salute only no one warned her so when the shots went off, she got so scared she fell off the chair. In the back he heard his young cousin yell, "They shot grandma!"

How about you? When was the last time you wanted to laugh but it was the wrong time?

Judy B. you are so funny. I'd have been standing outside the church with you. Good story.

Good one Dragon. Never underestimate what the deer know.

Good one Sapphire, I'm glad I posted this question. Laughter is medicine better than penicillin methinks.

I'm having such good laughs at these stories. Thank you everyone!

Good one Felines, we had to leave to laugh about the man in our community circle when he said, "Children are to be HEARD and not seen."

Answer 1

My daughter went with me to pick my son up from work and it was freezing and there was lots of packed down snow in the parking lot. It was slick with ice. When the guys were coming out from work there were only 5 or 6 then on that shift) this one man (Bob) a cute little guy around 50ish came out and was carrying a bottle of Mountain Dew in his hand. He was walking between his car and the one next to his when he slipped on the ice and diappeared down between the cars. When Bob got up we looked away so as not to embarrass him and we weren't laughing. We didn't say a word about it at all. So then Bob got in his car and was brushing himself off and he opened his Mountain Dew and it sprayed all over him !!!!! We still didn't laugh or say anything and we looked away again when he looked to see if we were looking !!! So then My daughter says " Poor Bob !!! He's having a bad day " !!!!! And we lost it !!!! My son got in and we laughed all the way home !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When we refer to that night We say "The night that Bob did the Dew !!!! hahahahaha !!!!!

Answer 2

I remember when my husband and I got married, I was so
nervous. We had just been given the words we were to repeat
for our vows by a justice of the peace in a judges chambers in
a courthouse in the south. The justice didn't seem to want to
smile and was a bit too somber. Well I guess it was the com-
bination of her seriousness, and my nervousness, as I stam-
mered and started to chuckle when I was to say my part. And
then I'd start again. And then a third time and broke out with
such hearty laughter, the justice must have thought I'd gone
insane. Even my hubby who had no idea what was so funny, tried to calm me down. It took several moments before
I was able to control my laughter down to giggles. The justice
finally smiled and that broke the laughing attack and we were
able to carry on with the ceremony.
Then later that evening, we had a special service to confirm
our vows in a army base chapel in front of friends. And both
of us had people standing up with us, and going thru the format of being witnesses and giving the bride away, and hubby had his best man. Well even tho we'd already gone through the legal ceremony, and this one was just for 'looks' so to speak, my hubby and the best man started to sweat and their faces got so red from nervousness. My hubby forgot and stammered his lines and the best man looked like he was ready to bolt for the door at any minute. He'd been standing like rigormortis had claimed him before the nervousness and sweating became apparent. Then my hubby started to chuckle and he got a fit of laughter. Then the best man started to crack up and released his tension too. Finally they were able to calm themselves and we were able to finish and go to a little reception that my hubby had provided for the guests. It had been a very tension filled day for both of us. I think we were very glad when it was all over.

I have this wonderful old friend. She and her hub and 2 sons went elk hunting. She stayed in camp and cooked a big stew for when they came back. When they came back worn out wet and cold, there sat Jean with a straight face and a huge bull elk lying about 20' away. She had a rifle in case of bears and the elk walked right into camp. The only game they got in a week. I can just see her red face from trying not to laugh.

Answer 4

That's Great! The last time I had a really bad attack of the giggles when I shouldn't have, was when I was in church. It was when a gentleman sitting next to me, shall we say,"cut the cheese". Of course those hard wooden pews kinda amplify everything and it was a small church, so it kinda sounded like a shotgun blast. I sat thru the rest of the sermon with my hand clamped over my mouth and tears just streaming down my face, I was laughing so hard. And the more that people turned around to look, of course the harder I started to laugh. I finally had to go outside and get myself under control before they sent for the men with the nets.

Answer 5

Every time my landlord & his son go over to their hunting spot (about 4 miles away as crow flies), the deer show up in his yard. I sit & take pics. of them. The guys get home empty handed, per usual, & I put another chalk mark on the board for the deer. I can never keep a laugh from bursting out. So far the score is:
Deer 8 Great hunters 0
love it

Answer 6

Well I have a couple of these...
After showering one day my daughter went to the dryer to retrieve her folded clothes, she was wrapped in a towel and had another one wrapped over her hair... she somehow hit the fire extinguisher knocking it on the floor... well, it turned into a jet! It went zooming off in all directions slamming into a few walls as it flew around the kitchen ... she screamed to high heaven... The Dog yelped and took off too! Everyone came running, scared to death at her screams... when we opened the door.. there she stood in a cloud of white dust looking like Casper the ghost!!! She had no idea what had happened.. and was still scared... Well... we all laughed so hard we fell on the floor in tears... she was so angry, she just stomped off to take another shower!
She never quite forgave us for that! Poor thing...

Answer 7

That was cute and funny, never heard that one before. Here is one for you and sad to say this but it really did happen.

One day several years ago, my dad was in the hospital. They had to put a catheter in him. Well after a few days they went to take it out. The nurse forgot to deflate it, she just jerked it out. Dad didn't even flinch to speak of, but just looked at her and said, "ah can you bring that back"? She said "you want the catheter back in"? He said no I don't, I just want it back. I had to tell her what he was talking about. She looked very shocked and then said, "Oh I am so sorry sir, I forgot to deflate it before I pulled it out".

It was all I could do to keep from laughing about it then. But when she left the room we were all laughing, including my dad.

Answer 8

I know this is not appropriate but when my husband falls as he's going out the door I break out in laughter. It's not because he fell but because I've told him a million times not to wear those duck shoes or he's going to fall, and he does. Then he says it's my fault that he fell!
This was a funny story. We are lucky on this site to be able to share our humour.

Answer 9

Sometimes nervous situations make people laugh and that is a normal response. I work with people everyday and often feel like laughing and it is hard to keep it in but i must. getting better at it lately.

Answer 10

It was at my grandma's funeral in 1975. (I was 35 and my sister was 37.) It was in a country church in the Blue Ridge/Appalachian mountains.

The preacher was giving the eulogy, and he said something that really struck me. I looked at my sister, she looked at me, and we both started studying our fingernails.

As soon as the service was over, we went outside and she said, "Did he REALLY say that?" I said, "That's what I heard!" and we both started laughing uproariously.

What he said was, "In God, all things are impossible."
