“In school we did a course on mythology and had a project where we had to write our own mythological stories for the creation of creatures/places/etc. One kid wrote a story about how a man was abusing his horse, so the gods cursed him. One day his horse threw him onto spear which went through the back of his head and out of his forehead, and he transformed into the first unicorn. I couldn’t f***ing stop laughing for a solid 5 minutes. The teacher berated me for laughing at violence but the kid and I both thought that was funny as s**t.” — ghost-0427

“Used to be a member of student Council back in college and this one time during a meeting with the campus Dean who was explaining (very seriously) how some students were shitting on the toilet walls and throwing literal s**t on the toilet ceilings which were building up expenses for cleaning. Was asked to give ideas on how to tackle the issue and I clearly remember trying not to laugh and holding it in perfectly but then as I made eye contact with a friend of mine in the council we bursted out laughing to the point where our stomachs started to hurt which lead to other members of the council laughing out loud. It was the first time meeting the campus Dean as well after that anytime I’d see him he’d give me a dirty look.” — Gaurav_01_

“During a cathedral Confirmation liturgy, the Bishop let out a resounding fart in the reverberant room as he elevated the host. Immediately, the Deacon began swinging the incense pot (thurible) because the altar boys kneeling directly behind the bishop started holding their noses and waving their hands.” — Back2Bach

“My senior year of high school I went to this memorial breakfast with my principal and a few other seniors because my principal was begging a few of us to go and hey, free breakfast. So getting to the end this woman starts singing an incredibly moving song, and she’s doing beautifully. But I look over at my principal and he just looks so dead. Like his face was completely blank and because I also don’t deal well with emotion apparently, I thought it was the funniest thing ever. So while this lady is singing and some people are crying I am losing my mind and trying so hard to stop laughing and I can’t. My friends thought I was having a complete mental breakdown, like I’d finally lost my mind or something. I felt absolutely horrible about it and ducked out as soon as I could.” — chaoswithneutrality

“On the best date of my life I went to see a really stupid movie A Walk To Remember (Edit cause many are asking) with my first girlfriend. We were sitting in the 4th to 5th row from the screen and two rows ahead of us were a group of younger girls. One of them is rushing back to her seat with her friends and she slips and falls. It was a nasty fall too and even though I felt bad for her I couldn’t stop laughing. It was awful. I don’t know why I couldn’t stop and I was even like, ‘god I know I shouldn’t laugh but that’s just making me laugh harder.’ It took me at least 10 minutes to stop. Girl who fell. If you’re out there somewhere I hope my laughing didn’t make you feel bad. To this day I still don’t really get why it was so damn funny to me.” — xNoMadMano

“I was in a local support group for friends and relatives of people with bipolar disorder. One person was relating the story of her older teenage daughter who, in a manic episode, grabbed a flashlight and took it upon herself to stand in a downtown intersection and direct traffic, until she was picked up by the police and taken to the hospital. (I kind of covered my mouth and pretended I was having a coughing fit and excused myself to go to the restroom.)” — LivingGhost371

“My son is 2 and has started talking back from time to time, telling us ‘no’ to basically everything, etc. I know I shouldn’t be laughing but sometimes it’s just so funny to me that this little person thinks they’re calling the shots.” — MEGA-DESK
