The Uncontrollable Laughter

Your stomach hurts. Tears are streaming down your face. You are gasping for air, making sounds that barely resemble human speech. And every time you look at your friend, who is in exactly the same state, it sets you off again.

This is not polite laughter. This is primal, shared joy. It breaks down all defenses and ego. In the grip of uncontrollable laughter, you are completely vulnerable and completely connected. It is one of the purest highs the human body can produce.
