I like both sarcasm and dry humor. These are my favorites. I think we laugh to express our feelings, sometimes we can't hold it in. One thing I have noticed is when you are tired you laugh even more at the smallest things.

It is a shame to say this, but sometimes we laugh to be mean! It is odd how close laughing and crying are sometimes, though, don't you think. When I was a child, one family member always tried to make me laugh when I wanted to cry and I hated that. Sometimes I just needed a good cry! He meant well, I think.

That is simple to awnser. One mostly laughs when he feels something funny is going around him. Now there are other things too for which one responses in laughter. But it is decided on behavior stability of that person.

Laughing is a way to show emotions. We don't just laugh to show amuesement, sometimes, we laugh to relieve nervous tension.

I don't know about any other user in mylot but i have many reason to laugh. I laugh to hide my sadness, to show my happiness, to make someone happy.No one laughs only because they found something humorous. Would you laugh if someone dear to you is very sad or you are very sad and i throw a joke.No my friend you wouldn't even if its the best joke of the world.

Scientists believe laughter evolved from the panting behavior of our ancient primate ancestors. Today, if we tickle chimps or gorillas, they don’t laugh “ha ha ha” but exhibit a panting sound. That’s the sound of ape laughter. And it’s the root of human laughter.

Yeh, we we laugh when we find something humourous. I laugh seeing comedy movies and acts. Reading, listening or saying jokes.

Though laughter is a natural instinct of human being, in certain cases I still couldn’t laugh out no matter how ridiculous whatever I had seen or heard. But sometimes I could laugh out loudly even though for just seeing a tiny little thing. So I believe laughter depends mostly on our mood for the particular moment. I conclude that if we want to keep on laughing all the time we must always try to regulate our mood by thinking more positively and be happy every now and then.

We are conditioned to laugh since birth,I associate healthy laughter with innocence. Adults are lucky to laugh 15 times a day now.
