Have you ever cordially laughed in a conversation

[iamgrace]

Lol

I get you.  I totally get you.

I just laugh-snorted about a half hour ago because my co-workers and I went to a nearby giant Chinese supermarket mall, and we saw a live goose chillin' in a shopping cart.

I just lost it.

I did not expect to see a goose at lunch.

[purrbox]

Too many times.

Lol I know what you're talking about. I laugh a lot, so my outbursts come out in all different ways.

I've also done the laugh where you kinda choke on your spit, then turns into an awkward cough. And the hiccup laugh that sounds like a burp.

[snipsnsnails]

I feel you. I used to have a friend that would just do one, solitary "HA" in this deep man-voice. Hilarious to this day.

Oh, also, on Friday during happy hour, I did actually spit out my virgin strawberry margarita all over the table and my poor friend's shirt.

I know that we all agree that this never actually happens when people type it online re spitting on their keyboard, but I lost my whole mouthful of drink.

We were having a discussion about blow jobs on uncircumcised penises, and one guy informed us that there is now some kind of procedure in which one may grow hair on the foreskin to be later transplanted to the top of one's head. And then somebody said that would be like eating a fuzzy turtleneck.

This thread is amazing. Thank you.

I only wish I was on the receiving end of your DUUURRRhHEHEHE.

Goddammit, Scotty, I love you.

I'm incredibly awkward in real life, so stuff like this happens all the time.

lol I just said SHIT to a judge on the phone, then laughed outlandishly. He called me in the middle of a big day, asking for an update on an old probate case I have filed in a county he circuits through. My assistant says Judge Smithy is on the phone, and I pick up my line and as I am picking it up (thinking he's on hold but he's not) I am hissing SHIT what am I missing????and the judge heard, adn laughed and laughed (thank god). He said no one ever talks like that near him any more.

I love this because it's so true.  I think judges really appreciate when people just treat them like people (well, with a certain level of respect still).

A story for you, Sue Sue -- When I go to hearings up north, I usually bring my little suitcase to the room because I hop on a plane directly afterward.  Most of the time, I stash my suitcase underneath counsel's table, but there was no room this day.  My judge totally saw my Hello Kitty suitcase and just outright laughed.  And then I laughed, too.  And now we have that "connection."

Yes. In my family, we call this, "stripping a gear." No clue where Mom got that, but apparantly it happens enough to have a term. Usually is followed with a polite cough and an, "Oh, excuse me," in an effort to play it off as a cough or choke rather than an awkward laugh.

L-o-duuurheehee-l.

In my family, anyhow.

I snorted when laughed at work one time. Not my finest moment.

This whole thread is making me laugh stupidly. Not like that, mind you, but that soundless, red-faced shaking thing that would alarm passers-by.

[iamgrace]

I'm a snorter at times.

Also, I like to laugh and make jokes A LOT at work and sometimes I seize up in a silent hard laugh with my mouth wide open and I have to start slapping my desk to avoid peeing my pants.

[EmilieMadison]

Yes. OMG yes.

[Jermys]

My dumb laugh is more like "Guh-hawwwwwwwwnnnnnhhhhhhhh!" It's sexy.

[MWOS]

I can't relate I go immediately into noiseless shaking tears twitching

[kaybee85]

YES...and then I make it worse by trying to smooth it over and start getting red splotches. Being awkward is hard.

[snickers]

lol
I rarely snort, but it's hard to recover from doing it in a conversation when it does happen.
