What was the last thing that made you laugh out loud. And I mean literally laugh out loud, not just something that made you smile, or smirk, or feel faintly amused.
For me, it was seeing someone else laughing out loud.

New Years Day - my family came round for dinner... we all sat chatting away when I took it upon myself to explain to them about the new addition to tesco - being the trolly rides up to the top floor (an escalator you take your trollies on) anyhoo, whilst going up there one day, my fiance suggested he ran up the down side - Gladiators style, you know, the finishing travelator?
well, I found it hysterical and trying to tell them about it was even worse, I couldn't stop laughing......... the problem being - no one else so much as grinned, the more I laughed, the more they glared at me. I think I ended up turning purple I was laughing so much!
p.s a certain someone thinks he's funny reminding me of how stupid I looked that day!

I bought a book this morning (The Timewaster Letters by Robin Cooper) and made the mistake of reading a few letters at random on the bus home. The other passengers must have thought I was a bit simple 'cos I kept laughing out loud and couldn't make it stop.
For a clue why, here's a few comments from the cover:
"Cooper's letters are absurd, pointless , and very, very funny" - Ricky Gervais
"I have WASTED two hours this morning weeing myself in hysterics at the book... it's completely brilliant" - Stephanie Merritt, Deputy Editor, Books, Observer
"Not many books have me laughing out loud, shouting "F**k off!" in disbelief. This one did" - Martin Freeman, The Office, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
"So funny, the only place you can read it without drawing looks of annoyance from anyone is a big huge empty field" - Graham Linehan, co-creator, Father Ted
It's too good for words, and it makes you sick that you never wrote it (anyone could have really, it's completely daft - as long as you're a comic genius of a writer of course, in which case you can easily manage to make it seem deceptively easy)
They have them in Bar Hill, Cambridge too! At my kids' nativity they drew a raffle at the end and the headmaster read out the winner. "Pervert" he said, totally straight-faced, mis -reading the name. Well I know you had to be there but for me, I lost it completely in a fit of giggles for what seemed like ages.
It's very much a 'you had to be there', but as I sat with my colleagues in our rest area at work, one of the - ahem - 'larger' ladies bent over the to reach into the fridge, exposing an undesrirable vision of a thong / crack interface enough to turn the strongest stomach. Without looking away from another female collleague telling me a story, I nudged my male colleague sitting to my left. in a voice that spoke volumes of fear and loathing in equal measure, he muttered "I know .....!" and I laughed without stopping until I was nearly sick!
I can recall an occasion in the 1970's when I got on a train at London Bridge on my way back from work.
A very dapper city gent got on the train, complete with bowler hat and briefcase. He sat down, got his newspaper (FT) out of his briefcase and tossed the briefcase on to the luggage rack above his head. Unfortunately, there was no cord in the rack and the briefcase came straight down and hit his hat. He looked liked Freddie Parrot Faced Davis. There were a few muffled titters then everyone in the carriage erupted with unctrollable laughter.
The one I can remember was when Ellen MacArthur was on Top Gear and Jermey was interviewing her. He was saying that she was the type of person who, in ancient times, would have left the cave and gone exploring. He then said he'd probably have stayed in the the cave (proceding to slouch in the chair and look round), saying, 'it's alright in here. Think i'll just stop here.'
The way he acted was almost the exact double of one of my best mates. I just got the image of my mate saying that same thing in exactly the same way, and I just cracked up.

At Mr Spudqueens cousins wedding in November. When it came to the bit where they have to say 'I know not of any lawful impediment......' the Bride couldn't say the word impediment. The more she struggled the funnier it got, (what a word to struggle on!) and ended up with myself, Mr Spudqueen, Mr Spudqueens father and a couple of Aunts and Uncles in absolute fits of laughter. It was one of those situations where the more you try to calm down and be serious the more likely you are to burst out laughing! She did manage to say it in the end and the rest of the ceremony went okay, apart from when the Groom was told 'you may now kiss the Bride', he turned to kiss her and somehow managed to pull her veil out! Brilliant day!
Very much a 'you had to have been there situation' with my two year old daughter. She had been sitting beside her big sister for a long period of time as they played a game and she had obviously got the pins and needles sensation in her leg. She caming running up to me whining 'Mummy this toe's not working - fix it !' Her crumpled face made me laugh and she got really annoyed with me whining 'It's not fair mummy. Toe's not working. Fix it mummy , fix it!'. The more she got annoyed , the funnier she looked but then mummy's are supposed to have a big magic wand that makes everything ok aren't they ?
My hubby and I were in stitches last night thinking back to things we used to do before we had kids and had time to ourselves. I remember egging him on to take a shot of a ropeswing which was positioned over a pond. I knew it didn't look that safe but convinced him that it was a good idea. He obliged and came crashing down and I was there , camera in hand to record swampman for posterity. The worst of it was , it was a scorcher of a day and he had to walk home squelching , getting funny looks from people.That may seem really mean but the pond was shallow and we were always doing things like that to each other.I also embarrassed him one day in the winter when we had first started going out when we were walking past a large group of young boys kicking a ball about (Some were his brothers' friends). We had to walk up a path with a hilly incline and it was iced over. I slipped and grabbed the first available thing - him. He was slightly in front of me and I grabbed him by the waist. We looked completely ridiculous skating backwards down the path , him in front and me holding on to his waist.
the best one I will always remember was when my mate, when we were kids he went to mass for his confession and told the priest, for a dare, that he had hit his mum over the head with a frying pan. Apparently the priest said that it was bad but god would forgive him, then my mate told the priest "no u dont understand, the pan was non-stick so I hit her twice!" Man I still laugh at that one!
