What is the most inappropriate time you have started laughing?

About two weeks ago, at a funeral, the guy behind me was singing really, and I mean really loudly in church. Couldn't contain myself. Mrs Craigg wasn't too chuffed with me :eek:
 
When my wife gets angry. I don't know why I do it, it's like spontaneous combustion, and she goes ballistic when I do.
 
A bloke told me a story of how he was in a toilet cubicle in a pub when someone threw acid over the top of the door and onto him. Horrible incident, burnt his nether regions. I got the giggles and couldn't stop. The incident wasn't funny, I knew it wasn't but something just went wrong in my head. Thankfully someone came to join the conversation and the distraction gave me time to get myself together. It still horrifies me now.
 
A work colleague was working on a cable grid about some racks of equipment in a telephone exchange. The grid is basically large wire mesh over which the cables are laid. It's attached to the ceiling via drop rods which have 2" metal bars attached either side of the drop rod.

He had girlie size feet which, on this occasion, slip through two holes in the grid either side of the metal bars. His balls hit the bars and he let out an almighty yelp. To get himself back up he had to push down on the bars, but every time he pushed down the bars squeezed together nipping his balls again, accompanied by more high pitched yelping.

Sorry but I was on the floor crying with laughter.

He had two days on the sick due to heavy bruising. I still laugh about it to this day, 31 years later.
 
Served on a jury a few years ago and one of the witnesses was badly wall eyed. When asked to point out the accused, he appeared to be looking in a totally different direction to which he was pointing.
I lost it and tried to make it into a coughing fit.

Tried the same escape plan a few years back.
Purchasing Manager at my workplace was partially sighted - to the point where he had a special double size computer monitor and triple size text.
I walked into the office late on a Winter afternoon, sun streaming in through the window
He called over to one of his underlings " Tracy, close the blind will you, I can't see a thing"
I lost it on the spot......
 
Many years ago meeting my future mother in law for for only the 3/4 time my girlfriend and I were watching a episode of Porridge Godber was doing press ups in the cell when Fletcher walked in and said ' anyone I know'
I thought this was hilarious and couldn't stop laughing my girlfriend was giving me daggers but the more I tried to stop laughing the worse it got and what made it worse was the mother in law didnt get the joke.
 
My wife is undergoing some brachytherapy cancer treatment.
One of the dates was on her birthday and we had a pre birthday meal the night before.
My daughter had arranged for a 'surprise' birthday cake which the waiter served with a large 'roman candle' type of indoor firework spouting sparks and flames.

My daughter and I looked at each other in utter shock then both of us burst out laughing. [shortly followed by my wife, thankfully]:lol:


A mass giggle resulted in an awful out of tune organist playing at a wedding.
Even the vicar could not keep a straight face.

During a minute's silence at Sheffield Utd v Watford years ago, I was high up in the stands. The ground was perfectly silent until it was punctured by a fan letting off a massive guff in the turnstiles, quickly followed by his mate shouting,"Oi, you smelly fat c!", echoing around the metal stand. Childish, but there were a fair few sniggers!
 
I remember when I was at school smiling when I got into trouble.
Watched a documentary about the Holocaust at school in Berlin. Can't remember what prompted it, but something tickled me as we were leaving the classroom. Everyone else was very sombre. As you'd expect. Got a serious backlash from that one.
 
Was at my step-mother's funeral service. A very small affair. Suffice to say, she was not too popular with our side of the family. Two of the opposition gave glowing eulogies at the end of which my brother whispered "Are we at the wrong funeral? That's not the woman I remember"

I cracked up and had to bury my face in my hands. The vicar kindly said "It's OK to cry at funerals Mr Leftie"
 
Years ago old guy we had working for us who had lost part of an arm in the war and had a specially-adapted car. He was getting something out of the boot and my colleague said, "Frank do you want a hand?"

I needed gas and air to come round after that one.
