Seeing something funny and laughing uncontrollably when you are walking down the street on your own.

I just saw something that had me literally in tears.

There is a poster on the side of Scala advertising some kind of Symphony Orchestra that are playing somewhere soon. On the poster there is a picture of the composer or conductor - not sure which. But on the conductor/composers eyes, someone has stuck 2 big pieces of blu-tac where his eyes are, so that he looked really goggle eyed.
Yeah, it doesn't sound funny but believe me I was pissing myself, but the worst thing is when this happens, you are laughing as you are walking along and all of the people walking towards you are wondering what the fuck you are laughing at.
:`D

Has this happened to any of you lot lately? - The walking and laughing bit that is!

not this but

when i have my headphones on i sometimes start dancing by accident and people laugh


when i say "dancing" i dont mean arms going everywhere club dancing

i just mean little shuffle of feet or someth...oh who am i kidding.i look a right nana


I constatnly get caught up in the

songs I'm listening to, usually on the train station, I've nearly started rocking out a few times but have just realised where I am at the crucial moment. One day it will happen though !!


That reminds me of Mike Strutter

He doesn't mind being called a cunt, fuckhead or whatever, but he absolutely hates being called a 'NANA'.


I try not to walk down the street with anyone other

than a scowl on my face. Otherwise you get creepy men trying to chat you up.


No, but seemingly just smiling to yourself is like

a big neon sign flashing 'Please talk to me and follow me down the street and make me run away'.


Happened to me today

I can't even remember what it was, but I had to drop an evelope off at the local secondary school and as I left something tickled me and I looked like an idiot in front of the least forgiving demographic there is.


That happend to me on a single decker bus

where I saw a girl fall on her arse when the bus started driving. Ii was literally in hysterics. I got off the bus and was laughing the most I've ever laughed in the street, and people must have honestly tought I was so kind of mentalist.

I then phoned my mate to tell him and proceeded to wheeze down the phone without being able to talk for 5 minutes.


Ones on the bus or train are the worst

Especially if you then have to sit in the shame for an hour or so.


^ Brilliant.

I was just pissing myself reading that :`D


There's a chruch near my house

with a bright pink poster outside saying "WHAT IS LOVE?"
Underneath someone has written "baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me no more"

An obvious joke but it did make me chortle!


*church


That's fucking legendry!

Musical reference humour is the best humour of all.

Whereas something like random scribbling on walls well I can't get with that (no can do).


When you say someone

do you mean sadpunk?


I wish I could take the credit

but I can't.


like the "STOP" sign,

where someone has written "hammertime" under it?


^this is ace

someone has that on here asa there profile pic


...

Best graffiti ever. I saw one of those in Madchester once, just off Queen's st, I think.


ha ha

Haddaway! Brilliant.


I laugh at really stupid things, which nobody else finds funny.

Sometimes I get this feeling out of the blue that life is just so silly and I have to laugh at how seriously I take it. People think you're crazy when you to explain this is why you're laughing.


Everytime I go down the road

into town from my house. There's a massive, size of three houses, banner, advertising some dodgy garden centre's wares, and the bottom line says 'Mony more items inside!'

I gigglesing Billy Idol for minutes after seeing that. Every time.


Ha ha, I bet that banner probably cost

a few quid as well!!


...

Something a little like this happened just 5 minutes ago. I was walking to the sandwich shop to get some munch when all of a sudden it was like Player 2 had pressed Start - because I suddenly found a man looking very much like me and wearing very similar clothes (save for an alternate colour scheme) walking towards me.

We both must have been thinking the same thing because we both suddenly got big stupid grins and the inability to look each other in the eye.

Then he passed me and the moment was gone.


It could have been that doppelganger

bracelet that Arnie wears on Total Recall!


...

MY NAME IS NOT QUAID!!!!


HA HA HA You think this is the real quaid?

IT ISSSS

BANG-BANG-BANG


Brilliant.

Once I was in a tiny shop wearing an animal print faux fur coat and two people came into the shop wearing the exact same coat. I felt something needed to be said as it was too obvious and funny not too. Turns out they were friends and neither of them knew the other would be wearing said coat, but it was too cold outside for either of them to take it off, so they both had to wear it all day. This makes me giggle everytime I think about it.


This happened to my brother

once at a party, him and my friend were both wearing the same t-shirt. Pretty embarrassing!


me and my friend do this far too much

i put it down to a lack of originality


Just outside the stationery cupboard at my work

there is a sign which says "Stationary request forms". I giggle like a complete idiot every time I walk past it.


...

Fabricate a sign that says "Request Forms in Motion" to put next to it.

You have to work hard for comedy!


.

i laughed at someone's self portrait they had been painting for a week.

the whole painting was shades of purple... with green eyes. it looked shite.

i LOL at it while she was still there and tried to disguise it by doing a coughing/sneezing fit.


not sure if this really counts

but i watched the entire series of Nathan Barley on the train to London a couple of weeks ago...

I was holding up ok until the episode where Dan Ashcroft goes to get his haircut...but after that my attempts at stifling my laughter kinda fell apart...


When I went to visit the University of York

I saw kid, must've been about 14ish, decked out in a yellow/purple shellsuit and a tweed flat cap. I was in hysterics for a good five minutes.


the scala

is on my road. so i'll be going to confirm that it is actually funny, when i feel a bit aliver,


unrelated but,

IS that the one where the conductor looks just a little bit like jack nickleson??
