I tried not to laugh..

[Fox1789]

the topic i want to focus on .. is did anything crazy happen at a place where if you laughed then it would be completely innappropriate?

my crazy story happened during the surmon when a teenage kid busted open the doors to the church and he was obviously under the influence of something and he yelled to the parish "God is dead!" and ran quickly out.

So I ask you, did anyone ever experience anything crazy where you tried so hard not to laugh?

A kid in my class thought it took 4 years to get to orbit.
He was serious.

Allow me to import something special for this thread:

A few years ago in Biology in high school we where having a lecture about a movie we saw about the African Ivory trade. After the movie this dumb-but-hot girl stood up in my class looking at her nails and I-shit-you-not said: "I'm never using Ivory White again" (referring to her white painted fingernails), at that point I was laughing so hard I fell out of my chair and was rolling around on the ground. So I was thrown out of class and spend lunch in detention. She was basically the top dog in her large group of friends, so the next day one of her friends came over to me and said that she started crying after I left the class...

That was a good day...

I applaud you good sir.

I have a similar story:

One day in United States History class we were watching a movie on world war II. Then, as a Chinese man (cannot for the life of me remember who it was) appeared on the screen, a girl asked, completely seriously, "Is that Hitler?".

I laughed until I cried, then laughed some more.

in a maths lesson, the most annoying teacher had been lurking outside the door for the previous 5 mins like a vulture, waiting for someone to misbehave. someone did. he walked in and said "oh hello mr --- (cant remember the other teachers name) i was just walking past and..." it was with a titanic effort that i didnt stand up and say "HA! you dirty liar!"

Why the hell can I never remember any examples when this kind of topic comes up?
Can't think of one but I did make a joke about my homeroom teacher when I found out he an heroed.

 

[DM master]

Classic example was when there was a rumour going around about this guy, we were talking about it and then this guy walks in to get to his locker. My freind just starts giggling uncontrollably so we all start laughing.

When a girl told me that she sucks at a certain sport and says "I hate sucking!" I could not resist the laughter.

I was at a funeral. It was the cremation of someone that a friend of mine new very well. As the vicar was approaching the end of his speech he said something along the lines of "may the grace of god enfold you". As he said the word enfold, the curtain around the coffin started to move to surround it, thus enfolding it. I nearly burst out laughing and had to pretend that I was having an asthma attack or something to prevent an embarrassing incident.

I actually had a biology professor that believed that the world was as old as the bible says (you know, around 6000 years), I did not only laugh at him when I found out, we also filed a request to get a new professor, which we did.

Oh my god. I hate teachers who do that. It's teachers like that that make people afraid of them in the first place. I wouldn't be surprised if that teacher had contimplated planting cocain in some poor kid's locker just to look like a good faculty member for busting the kid for possesion.

Anytime brutal decapitation happens in anime. I can't stop laughing at how over done it is usually made out to be.

Well, I remember reading a newspaper article back when I was a few months away from graduating high school. It was a collection of honest-to-god serious questions asked by American students (from Wisconsin, if memory serves) and directed at students from my country, Germany.

The top 3 (rated by the paper, not me!) were:

3. "Is it true that girls don't shave their armpits in your country?"
2. "Is Hitler still your president?"

And the #1 question, I shit you not:

1. "Are there currently any problems at the German-Chinese border?"

I showed this article to my English teacher, and it took him about 10 minutes to stop laughing.

This reminds me of a time when an American asked me if it was true that all the people in my country (UK) A) Drank tea and B) Never brushed our teeth.
I was tempted to reply that "all Brits drink tea in the same way that all Americans are fat", but I don't think this particular person would have understood satire.

Oh, and for anyone wondering; the teeth thing is back from a few centurys ago, one of our queens had terrible teeth so everyone most people in the country also tried to make their teeth black and rotten in order to be more like her. Idiots.

I was driving a carpool vehicle to a business conference with several co-workers, including one attractive and very fitness-minded young woman - who was usually pretty smart, but occasionally naively blundered into some inappropriate conversations or commentary (but fortunately had a good sense of humor about it).

So we're driving along a highway she hadn't been on in a while, and she happened to glance over to the right and spot a sign for a relatively new store. "Hey, a new video store!" she said excitedly. "I wonder if they have exercise videos?"

As dryly as I could possibly deliver the response, I said, "Yes, but not the kind of exercise you're thinking of."

It was, of course, an adult video store. She figured that out a few moments later and was soon laughing along with the rest of the carpool.

An american once asked me if I knew the queen of England when I was on holiday in Florida (I was about 10). I replied: "Yeah, I hang out with her ALL the time..." then walked away in histerics.
