OK, hear me out, because I think this is funny.
But I only want you to laugh if you REALLY find it funny.
Because as you read below, I don't want you to laugh unless you really mean it.
Because let's face it.

Because let's face it.
How many times have you found yourself laughing--when you didn't really find something funny?
I think we are all put in situations, whether it's with family or friends, at work or at the store or doctor's office, where we've been in conversations where its only polite to laugh at cute anecdotes or pleasant small-talk chats that leave us with that fake smile and that forced laughter.
How about that time when you're listening to someone's conversation but you tend to drift off. Now you're completely lost until the person starts laughing at the end, leaving you no choice but to chuckle and say "that's funny."
What about when you have a conversation with your boss at work, and to just be pleasant and nice, you laugh at what you believe you should be laughing at so you do not offend your superior.
How about that time when someone tells a joke in a large group, and you don't get it. Well, to fit in, we laugh anyway (and pray they don't quiz us on what it means).We all love to laugh, and do it all the time--somehow managing to laugh with people who we don't even think to be funny. (Seriously--ever go out in a social environment and not find yourself laughing?)
I love to laugh, but I'm going to put my foot down and start having some standards already!

Quite true.
It's a lot harder to sit stone-faced
and say "that's not funny..."
As a comic, all I ask is that if you
do find it funny, you let the laugh out.
Too many people stifle their laughter
and are embarrassed by laughing loudly.
