I had the ultimate (for me) laugh challenge when I was having a 45-minute MRI. Something struck me funny while I was lying there inside that claustrophobic barrel thing, under orders not to move a muscle, and I thought I was going to break myself.
In the past, in church services, classrooms, staff meetings, and dentists’ chairs, I haven’t succeeded in suppressing a huge laugh or a fit of giggles (although usually I could stifle a bit), but I managed to hold it until they finally rolled me out, I don’t know how.
Then I did burst out laughing.
The technician gave me a puzzled look and said, “That’s a really unusual reaction.”
