Things that really made you laugh

I used to go to evening classes with a friend to learn Spanish and the teacher was rather strict. The class was held in a school and one evening we were late so we ran down the corridor. My friend was in front of me and just as we got there, she slipped and fell over right outside the classroom door.

OMG it was so funny, the panic of being late and her going flying just set me off but we couldn't laugh because the class would hear us and the door was one that was half solid with a pane in the top so we had to hide, crouching under under the window and stifling our laughter. It was so funny, it still makes me laugh now.

Just 2 days ago, DH and I were out with our 2 teenage DDs who are at peak embarrassed-at-everything stage.
It was hot and DH was wearing light summer trousers he hadn’t worn since last year. He’s now slimmer than last year. As we walked up the stairs to leave (restaurant downstairs) DHs trousers slithered down to mid thigh. It was quite busy. He hoiked them up quickly and looked at me in panic!
I just lost it, and he started laughing too. We couldn’t speak for laughing.
Our DDs stormed out, more embarrassed than they had ever been in their lives - not just by DHs pants but by their late-50-something parents in public hysterics!

As a teenager, I was at my friends house one evening and her boyfriend, who was a paramedic was telling the two of us about the time he used to be a hair dresser putting bleach on a womans hair and he went in the bck room for something, when he came out, his customer had lit a cigarette and all he could see was white smoke rising above her head. He thought the bleach had caught fire, he ran up to her an pulled the cap off her head in a mad panic........

She was laughing her head off and so were all 3 of us as he was telling us.

The trouble was, we were at her parents house and her mum and dad had gone to bed so we were laughing hysterically but quietly.

It still makes me laugh today!
