There's a right time & a wrong time....

[Bbbananas]

.. to get an attack of uncontrollable giggles.

I attended a Management Course yesterday (groan..moan..boring.. but the lunch was good; roast pork dinner, but no stuffing or apple sauce so only 7/10).

Anyway - one of the questions I was asked after lunch was "Do you always follow through..?" I could hardly contain myself. Luckily there were some likeminded people there who caught on & joined me, but I got some very dirty looks also. Some people have no sense of humour whatsoever ;-)

That's excellent! I'd have been in stitches too. And the worst part is trying not to giggle! Just makes it worse.

Anyhoo, just reading this I laughed out loud (in a silent office) he he! Got a few funny looks! :0)

Sometimes, when people have peculiar names, it just sets me off.

I have to pretend that I've just thought of something else, but I'm sure it's obvious to the person you're with that their name amuses you.

[Bbbananas]

It started off with the old shoulder-shake jobby then proceeded to the throaty noise that comes out when you're trying to stifle a laugh... then I caught the eye of the nurse opposite who knew what I was smirking at, and well, that was it.

The tone was lowered completely.

[Bbbananas]

I know what you mean JJ - like the time someone introduced himself to me as 'Mr Min-Gay' (but I had seen on the registration paper his name was actually spelt 'Minge'.

I could not look him in the eye...

[joggerjayne]

He wasn't also a ginga was he, Sal ?

[Bbbananas]

Bald as a coot.

[Bbbananas]

.. a shaven min-gay you could-say!

[joggerjayne]

tries to keep head clear of bald minge thoughts

[rinkins]

You're killing me I'm going to have to stop reading this!

Sometimes when we're out with the girls, you see a person come in the door who looks a bit weird and it sets us off, we don't need to say a word to each other.

[mccfluff]

it happens all the time to me

my boss asked me if i'd whether i'd ask the maintenance guys to spray their salty white stuff on the car park (he meant salt for the ice) but i died took me a far few hours to recover from that one.

the electrician who sorted my back passage.............some poor sales guy who rang up and asked if i needed stuffing n(i never did find out what he was on about he slammed the phone down on me whilst i was in mid cackle

[angel21]

hahahahaha doesn't take much for me to get an uncontrollable fit of giggles esp at the most innapropriate times hehe

[mccfluff]

oh and the OH told me last night he was going to take me up 'the church'

when i finally stopped laughing (for no reason really) he told me i was being childish :-(

[angel21]

lol mcfluff esp at the salty white stuff. I alwasy recognise puns like that and I always wonder if its just me and if I've just got a dirty mind

[angel21]

Every now and then, you're in the pub, and one of your friends just says ...

... "Hobbit"

... and it's so obvious who she means, and you all crease up, and can't look over at the Hobbit (sorry, I mean "person") concerned, because you just crack up.

Oh, god ... it's just cruel. We have to stop spotting Hobbits.

[Bbbananas]

There's an awful lot of weirdos (hobbits) in my neighbourhood.

My friend Lil once answered the door to her builder, in her penguin dressing gown and asked him to come up to her bedroom to look at her crack ;-)

(That's going in her wedding speech....!)

[joggerjayne]

And the builder, mistakenly, thought she meant the crack in her ceiling, LOL

[mccfluff]

oooo hobbit spotting, we've got a couple at work one even has hairy earlobes......

[Sasha-2008]

[Bbbananas]

yeah - poor Lil - she always tries hard.
