Funniest Moment, but you can not laugh.

[JihadOnTheRiver]

Both of these are simultaneously not funny, and competely missing the point of the OP.

Everyone has experienced those times in their lives where it is the funniest moment of their life, but it would be explictly rude to laugh.

So lets hear them.



I dont think I missed the point of the OP. Is it not rude to laugh like an idiot in church? Could be not, but I was taught it was. And yes, they were funny, but like most things, you probably had to be there.

Guids: No, seriously, he's right.

Freshman year of high school (Catholic high school mind you), history class with Sister Helen McGuire. We all had to give 5 minute oral reports on different topics. About halfway though the class this one girl is giving her report, I'm half bored to death and I hear the girl say "...blah blah blah that affets all orgasms on earth." (She obviously meant to say organisms). Three of us in the front row are about to erupt when sister Helen immediately locks on to us with her best eternal damnation stare and her fist immediately slams down on the desk. She kept staring at us for the rest of the class throughout all of the other presentations. Luckily I had already gone because I was near tears by the end of class. One of my classmates in the front wasn't so lucky. He had to go next and he got approx. 5 words into his report when he cracked up. Straight to the principal - 2 days of detention.

OK, Probably going to hell for this one. I was the one cracking the inappropriate joke, but anyway here goes.

My father and I are at the hospital visiting someone who is in critical condition. Naturally, we are worried and depressed. We decide to go find a vending machine for a drink, wind up getting lost, and while we are passing an elevator, it opens and a priest walks out.

My father sees the priest and when the thought that the function of a priest in a hospital is to administer last rights he is sort of reminded of the situation of our visit and audibly groans. I hear this groan and decide I need to make my father feel better through humor. So, right when the priest is walking towards us but still out of earshot I whisper "dont worry, hes just looking for the pediatrics ward". My father and I immediately start feinging a coughing fit, trying not to laugh out loud as the priest walks by.

Friend driving to show us this tree that he can't believe more people don't hit because it's so easy to hit. So we go to the spot and he skids out and runs smack dab in to the tree. Basically totaled his car. He was sitting there in disbelief/shock and everyone in the car was doing their best to hold back the laugh.

This one is the funniest I've read. There would be no holding it in for me...as soon as I figured out we were all okay, I would have been rolling around on the ground laughing.

Very funny, but one that I would have NO hesitation laughing about.

A girl I had dated for awhile in high school was in one of my classes in University. We'd stayed friends after we'd broken up, but the break-up was because she thought that I was "too much of a jerk". I hadn't done much to dispell the notion in the two years since we'd stopped going out.

Shortly before the Christmas break, she mentioned to me that she'd gotten a 120 lbs Rotweiler from the animal shelter. I made some crack about these kinds of dogs being given up to the animal shelter because their owners find them too vicious and that she'd end up with her throat being torn out. I also mentioned a story about a friend of mine who had gotten attacked by a dog he'd adopted, and that the dog hadn't seemed aggressive at all until the day it attacked him. She got kind of bitchy at this point and started telling me how her dog is a "sweetheart" and wouldn't hurt a fly, etc... "Famous last words" was my reply to her and she got even more bitchy and insisted that I didn't know what I was talking about.

A couple of days later she called me up for some reason and I could hear the dog going apeshit in the background. It sounded like it was in the process of killing her family. I asked her why it was barking and growling so much and she told me it was because it could see the neighbour in his backyard. I again repeated my statement that it was only a matter of time before the dog snapped and attacked her. She again argued with me and defended her dog, called me a jerk, and hung up on me.

Fast forward about a month and we're back in school. I see her in class and I ask her how her holidays were. She tells me they were "depressing".

"Why," I replied, "did your dog finally try to kill you?"

At this point she holds up her hand, and it is covered in scars.

"Yeah, I took the dog out for a walk and he saw another dog and tried to go after it. I was pulling on the leash and it wanted to get away so it turned around and bit my hand really hard. I had to go to emergency and get stitches."

I really really didn't want to laugh, but I remembered how bitchy she got with me, and how she kept insisting that I didn't know what I was talking about...and I started laughing. When she told me that her dog had to put down after it attacked her, I tried to stop laughing, but by then it was too late...I was laughing so hard I was crying.

Just then another girl that we knew went to sit down with us and asked why I was laughing so hard.

"He's laughing because I had to put my dog to sleep."
