A good belly laugh is like medicine

You know when you’re a kid and you laugh so hard your stomach hurts, you can’t breathe, you think you might choke or faint or be sick and it’s wonderful! and then when you’re an adult and work, commuting, children, life admin, bereavement, bills, stress (this is a sweeping comment) and maybe you still find things amusing but not properly belly-aching funny?

a thread about what makes people interesting on here had me thinking that number one for me is humour. Not just wry humour but my type of funny that has me belly laughing and I really notice those types of people because most people are just sort of kind of funny, like you go huhuh good one but the real diamonds make you feel like you might wee.

I have funny friends, but maybe 2 or 3 who make me belly laugh, ugly laugh and I love listening to them and being in their company and come away feeling happy.

obviously humour is different for everyone but do people still belly laugh often?

I do yes. Tears, gasping for breath, the lot.
I love a good belly laugh.

One of my best friends i see weekly, we have a laugh with the belly laughs too. We seem to have funny things happen to us or witness when we're together. Some things we've belly laughed about around 15 years ago stick with us.

Most days thanks to my DS I hear him constantly laughing no idea what he's laughing at but he has the most infectious hilarious laugh I've ever heard & that's not me being bias. He's 22 now and it's still as funny as the first time; one of his friends who makes music added his laugh to one of his mixes 🤣 but when he laughs everyone within hearing distance starts laughing so in our household we'll all be laughing because he found something funny.
