Nobody else laughs so hard that they cry (or, if you're a woman, lose control of your bladder, as my wife has done a few times over the years)?  I can think of five occasions in which I've laughed that hard.  Here's the top one:

Back in September 2003, me and my family (wife and, at the time, children who were 10, 9 and 6) were trying to see all the sights around the mall in Washington DC while the remants of a hurricane moved in.  The last stop in the afternoon was the National Air and Space Museum.  In the basement, about fifteen minutes before closing time, we found a bunch of flight simulators.   There were three, so my children took first dibs, leaving me with just a couple of minutes to give it a shot myself.  I climbed in and somehow managed to invert the simulator.  I couldn't get it upright.  It kept bouncing, which kept me bouncing upside down, giving me a horrible headache.  Meanwhile, stuff was falling out of my pockets, like pens and papers and coins.  These, in turn fell through seams in the cockpit, descending to the floor,which started my family to laughing.  When I exited the machine, I held my hands to my head and groaned against the headache, which made my family laugh all the more.

It was closing time, so the security guards started vigorously shooing us to the entrance.  Only we were slow, because we were laughing so hard, which angered them.  The guards and remaining visitors looked at us like we were crazy, which added to our mirth.

Finally, we made it to the door, donning cheap plastic ponchos since it was raining outside.  As we walked out, a big wind gust lifted all our ponchos straight up in the air.  This was the straw the broke the camel's back.  We were an out-of-control family staggering down the mall sidewalk laughing our heads off in a hurricane.

Somebody help me with Whipple's story (I think you need to have served in the military to understand it - I have no idea what the following are:  Mojo, M1Division, LBFM, and a Peso Show).  I think I wanna know!

Well, maybe not the hardest, but close.

A friend showed me that video after I had a few glasses too much, and it is really evil.

I still have to laugh when I watch it. That poor guy. Can you imagine how that must feel. To simply be unable to stop
laughing? And he tries. He really tries.

High pitched voice


The weird thing is, when watching this version, I actually felt really bad about laughing in the first place.
The moderator is a poor guy who lost a job he loved dearly over that episode and was completely heartbroken.

But still.....aaaaarghh.....I simply cannot.....

Probably the first time I ever saw 'Duck Amok'. Daffy banging on that anvil/shell was hilarious.

...poker game with the boys...copious amounts of alcohol and funky cigarettes...my buddy and i laughed until crying after saying over and over to each other in slow motion, bass voices "Dude, you gotta dart in your neck! That is so cool!"...then back to the other "I like you man! You're funny!"*
