Imago Ive had a simular experience with a meditation group but nowhere near as funny as that...the whole reason I meditate at home...add to the fact that Im the one that usually falls asleep

Why didn't you tell him to wake up? Sounds like you need assertiveness classes more than a spirtual journey

I play in a church on a monthly basis. As most of you know, musicians tend to be the most irreverent lot you'll ever find -- even in church. And, when something funny happens in the musicians' section, the congregation can't help but notice, because we're in the front of the church, behind the preacher.

The opening prayer this past Sunday was such an occasion.

One of the deacons was doing the two-minute service-opening prayer. Now, the deacon repeated a religious phrase every couple of words (I'm not clarifying, out of respect to Him and the fact that it was a prayer).

However, the bloke playing guitar ate it up. He began counting off, rather loudly the times the good deacon would repeat the phrase.

"... 10...

... 16...

...25...

...31...

...40...."

Yes, the deacon repeated his phrase more than 30 times. But the count being taken near me was hilarious. I had to fight to not explode in laughter. I cracked a smile, but held in the laugh. Fortunately, most people keep their eyes shut, when they pray. No one said anything to me after service. (And they would, at my church...)

I guess humans, when really in the heat of the momment, always seem comical to me.



It's kind of like having sex--sure it may be a beautiful moment, but sex faces are laugh out loud funny.

Theres no way in hell I'm gonna read all this.

But it seems like it may be funny.

Summarize.

First tell me what your views are about the fact that 1 in 5 people in the US can not identify the United States on a map.

The worst time I ever had to hold inlaughter was at my grandfathers funeral. SO if anyone's going to hell, it's me.
But there we were, grave side and these old, old, old ladies and gentleman decide to start singing hymns or whatever, but no one's really sure which song they're all singing and they finally all get together on the same song, but two old ladies are singing about 3 lines behind the rest of them and they can't get it together and it sounds just AWFUL with these old, weathered croaky voices barely making sense of whatever they're trying to sing and all I wanted to do was burst out laughing and I couldn't.

Very interesting Imago , I would have busted a gut myself if I was there because I just would not have been able to hold it in.

Two of the funniest things that ever happened where I busted out laughing (I just could not contain myself) during a few of our meetings were the times when one of the speakers fell off the stage after one of his talks like someone pushed him, hey I was young and the time when another one farted loudly while saying a prayer, guess he couldn't contain himself .

OMG, it's nice to see that at least the youtube community is not letting people get away with whatever they want just for looking like a Barbie doll.

Amen. Youtube is poetic justice.
