Did you *really* fall off your chair? And does your chair actually have more than two legs? :-)
As a totally unrelated aside... I did fall off my chair laughing, about 20 years ago. Our TV Arts class had the debatable priveledge of reading the daily announcements over the P.A. system in our high school. Anyway, this day the other reader and I were flubbing just about every item (first time I ever saw the word perogie and had no idea how to pronounce it), misread times, etc. Finally got to the list of people who had to go to the office and just couldn't say the name 'Terry Terryberry' without laughing, thus causing the other reader to laugh, reinforcing my laughter, etc., etc., etc. About 30 seconds later our teacher burst into the studio and took over the microphone which was lying unattended on the desk, conveying our laughter from the floor of the studio to the rest of the student body.
The teacher was not very pleased. |
