Laughter

If laughter is the best medicine,as they say, then he would be the healthiest of them all. He laughs at everything...

"Hey, how's it going?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...good, and you ha ha ha."

"Do you have a minute?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...I guess, ha ha ha.

"What are you doing for lunch?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...I'm just staying in, ha ha ha.

...for no apparent reason, as if everything were a private joke that only he understood. At first it is fine, but after 6 months, and he can't say anything without laughing, and he sits behind you, and every time you hear him laugh you make mocking faces at your computer screen, and write things about him on your notepad, and he laughs at everyone else too, and then it gets to a point that you are manic, that you can see yourself laughing as you punch him in the face, and all he does is laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and...ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.


Maybe it's you who has the problem.
