When can laughter be harmful

I am sure that all of you remember that when Mrs (an extra ‘s’ for the polyandry she practiced) Draupadi laughed on Duryodhan it resulted in the great war Mahabharat. So it is highly probabilistic that laughing can sometimes be dangerous. Hey what is this guy talking about? Laughing is dangerous? Not exactly but there comes a time when restrain on your laughter is just the best thing that you can do (never stop laughing at yourself). Contrary to that I always encourage people to have a hearty laugh whenever they get a chance even on small petty things cause growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional. People do call me crazy but then I give the reason that when someone runs around in circles then you call them crazy but when planets do it you say they are orbiting. Hold on! I was supposed to talk for the topic and not against it
Right my topic was about “never miss a chance to shut up”. It’s true.
Now my naughty mind is thinking what all situations can arise when laughing should be avoided.
1. I firmly believe that you should not be laughing when you are in your office and your boss just walks in with his wig inserted the wrong way then laughing right in front of him with your fingers raised would no doubt be pretty valiant and exciting nevertheless a substantial reason enough to kick you out the company.
2. When your friend’s wife falls down the manhole suddenly when you are on evening walk. I am sure that your laughter will either earn you a punch from the friend or at least a push to your wife down another manhole by your friend (now which husbands have got an idea to take revenge with their wives?).
3. When your friend fails the exam that matters to him most like his BE exam. Laughing at the extension of his “Bachelorhood” would certainly not be appreciated by him and might give you a black eye in return.
4. When your wife asks you whether you liked the new dish she has made or what you think of her mother then a jolt of mirth from you may as well end up you giving up half your property as alimony after the divorce.
5. Here is my personal favourite – sneering at somebody’s funeral making fun of the clothes that the corpse has worn can incur the wrath of the near and dear (also rear) ones and you could be an addition to the burning pyre.
6. How about laughing at your small nephew when he is crying really hard (it doesn’t seem that serious but trust me I have done it and I was pretty badly bitten – why do kids have teeth?)
7. Try laughing at the stranger who just accidentally farted in public. Apart from the numerous stares from the same public you might also be mistaken as the producer of that biogas (any amount of cajoling then wouldn’t make them believe otherwise and then whenever anybody farts the blame is yours by default – that’s why people keep staring at me when my nostrils flare due to someone else’s indigestion).

I think that these are reasons enough to prevent you from sharing your happiness with others in some critical times. You can always have a plaid face in front of your laughter instigators and then laugh aloud in the loo afterwards because remember never insult the alligator till after you cross the river.
