laughter. therapeutic?
some few years ago i had a girlfriend who was a bit of a mentalist/drama queen. we were in a pub, and she was sat back to the door with her usual thong hanging way up out of her trousers. a mutual friend, the bouncer came over and pinged said thong, then leant in and shook my hand, said his hellos to the group.. she laughed, i thought nothing of it.
when we got home, i think it's fair to say the mood changed. she went berserk, screaming at me, how dare i shake his hand, why does he have the right to touch me blah blah (i'm only so casual about it because she made a career of sitting on random guys laps to get drinks/free entry, him included, and i'd long tired of calling her on it) i was looking suitably trite (this was before i'd retrieved my testicles from the metaphorical handbag) and it was starting to simmer down, when she said the fatal word.. 'how DARE he give me a WEDGIE?!?!'
desperately trying to stifle it, i squirmed and my face contorted into a horrible rictus.. imagine you're in the middle of a funeral parlour and someone farts, and you're trying to make out you didn't notice. her expression changes
'you're not taking me seriously!!!! you're laughing at me aren't you
*bead of sweat rolls down forehead, lips tremble slightly* errrmmm.. no? no. no i'm not.
you are! she exclaims, stamping her foot
*corner of mouth twitches, followed in rapid succession by left eye. thinking about dead kittens, deaths in the family, margaret thatcher naked on a cold day..*
"you ARE! you laughed when i said the word WEDGIE"

*a moment of breathtaking silence.. a bird chirps outside. clouds race across the sun. camera pans round the two motionless combatants in bullet-time*

mmmmmgggggggnnnnnnpffffFFFFFFRRRRRTTTTTSSSHHHNNNNIIIIUUUUUUUohgodhelpusallMUAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*crieswithlaughterAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

shortly after i was single, for about a day.
shortly after, once i'd cleared me head and some other shit had come to light, she was single, for about ever.

(click) Bahaha! I do wonder, though, how she'd notice she had a wedgie when she was already wearing a thong... Friends of mine who swear by 'em (thongs that is, not wedgies) tell me there's a difference, but for the life of me I can't figure it out.
