Minute silence, ticking away. The Giggle Loop begins. Suddenly, out of nowhere, this thought comes into your head: “The worst thing I could possibly do during a minute silence is laugh.” And as soon as you think that, you almost do laugh — automatic reaction. But you don’t; you control yourself; you’re fine. But then you think how terrible it would have been if you’d laughed out loud in the middle of a minute silence. And so you nearly do it again, only this time, it’s a bigger laugh. And then you think how awful this bigger laugh would have been, and so you nearly laugh again, only this time it’s a very big laugh; it’s an enormous laugh. Let this bastard out and you get whiplash! And suddenly, you’re in the middle of this completely silent room, and your shoulders are going like you’re drilling the road, and what do you think of this situation? Oh, dear Christ, you think it’s funny!
