Petey: I thought up the best scary movie of all time! Alice: What is it? Petey: So you go to the theater and the movie starts- You're waiting for it to be scary but nothing scary happens. You're so tense, your stomach hurts! But nothing scary happens during the whole movie! Petey: Then it's over! And you're so relieved it wasn't scary! But as you leave the theater, an usher jumps out from behind the trash can- and he says, BOO! Petey: That was so scary, my stomach hurts. Alice: If he jumps out and tells you a joe, would it be a comedy? Beni: Not if it made your stomach hurt.
Actually, several times in my life I have laughed so hard that I nearly choked myself and my stomach hurt like crazy. I guess I found what made me laugh so hysterically comical that I literally fell into a bout of hysterical laughter. It actually took a lot of effort to calm down, try to breath slowly and deeply and not to think in whatever it was that made me laugh. Disturbingly good times!
