I think it was Fly guy that posted the story of the guy with the snow
By the time I got finished reading that, I was laughing so hard I had to get a tissue to wipe years from my eyes

Was just reminiscing with the wife about a couple times my uncontrollable laughter came out at inopportune times

One time we were shopping at Target. I hate shopping for the most part, so while my wife was checking out , I went outside for a smoke.
Well I’m standing in front of the store smoking. I saw a woman approaching walking while looking at her phone.
Well in front of our target are several big red balls I guess you’d call em. Probly 3 1/2 or 4 do in diameter.
This woman walked directly into one of them. She didn’t just fall,, she went ass over teakettle over the thing!! Her landing was spectacular.!!
I rushed over to help her up, but I couldn’t help myself. I was laughing hysterically. She was pissed!! Real pissed. Refused my help. Bout that time my wife came out wondering WTF. I was laughing so hard I couldn’t explain it to her. By this time the woman after much effort struggled to her feet and let me know exactly what an A hole she thought I was and walked off in a huff. I was still laughing after we made it to the truck.

One time many years ago. Some friends invited us to church. We went. Pretty full congregation.
The young associate pastor was giving the sermon. He was really getting into it. Building his crescendo and at the climax, he forgot what he was saying. Nothing. Dead silence.
To me at least, this was the funniest thing I’d ever witnessed. I burst out laughing. I was the only one. I tried to get it under control. Almost succeeded then burst out again. Went thru a couple of cycles of this and finally had to get up and exit. Of course everyone is watching horrified as I’m making my way to the door.
Embarrassed the hell out of the wife.
We never got invited back

Laughter is the language of angels. I'm not much of a believer, but if there is a god, I figure he's off somewhere laughin his ass off. And that preacher? That's funny, I don't care who you are. And the god I would like to believe in would not hold that laughter against you.

I was once at a high mass catholic wedding and they were swinging balls of smoke and ringing bells that sounded exactly like the old land line telephones. I whispered to my brother that “I think it’s for you” and we both burst out in hysterical laughter. Mom pinched our thighs which made it even worse

Hey Ben Check this out.

Pseudobulbar affect (PBA) is a condition that's characterized by episodes of sudden uncontrollable and inappropriate laughing or crying.

Pseudobulbar affect typically occurs in people with certain neurological conditions or injuries, which might affect the way the brain controls emotion.

Yea I’ve heard of that. It also happens when something funnier than hell happens

I can relate to the church part. One son and i are not allowed to sit together in church. Something about we are both warped.

Well Ben; I myself, have had SOME experience with uncontrollable/ inappropriate laughter... I was "called upon" to be 1 of the "pall-bearers" for an old woman, who was the wife of an old man that I worked with.
This also occurred in a Roman Catholic Church, and one of the other "pall-bearers" was in the "pew" directly in front of me; him being in the front row.
This was way back in the mid 1970's and this guy was probably 30 years older than me. He all of a sudden "rolls to the left" (rears up on one cheek, as it were...) & LET ONE RIP; {A damn LOUD ONE, at THAT} just as the Priest had begun "a rather pregnant pause" in his eulogy...
I just couldn't help it; I was laughing without the ability to stop; but somehow made it look & sound like I was actually CRYING; so... I at least didn't get scolded or "shunned by the congregation", or anything to that effect.

Able man. That is an awesome cover. !!!
Think they bought it??
Mine however no cover was available.

Able Man Loc: North Coast (Cleveland, Ohio)

I'm really quite sure, that "the bulk of" those in attendance "bought it"... I even got quite unrighteously "involved", (in "a romantic kind of a way") with the dearly departed's DAUGHTER!!! ... Neither her, nor her Daddy, or anyone else, ever "scolded me" about laughing!

I saw a blind man walk into a telephone pole. I laughed. My friend that was with me saw it and when I laughed he looked at me, shook his head, and Said "you're gonna go to hell for that". If he would have been right in front of me I would have tried to stop him. But he was across a busy street in downtown Pittsburgh and I don't care who it is, when somebody walks into a telephone pole it's funny.

NOPE!
