I don't think I like my laugh.
It's too loud. I asked my BIL if I have an annoying laugh, and he said I do, but then he laughed, and he lies all the time. Should I train myself to restrain the volume of my laughter, or do people really not care? Oh yeah- and I laugh about things constantly, so frequency may be a consideration as well. I can't help it, I just see humor in everything, and am very outwardly expressive.

2. Ah HAA HAAA HAAAA! Hahahaha!
Something like that. It's not shrill, I have a deeper voice, but it's, well, boisterous and full-bodied.

9. At least you're not a snickerer.
And you don't laugh through your nose.
I like a hearty laugh.

5. Some laughs are very annoying.
I can't make a decision about yours because I haven't heard it but if YOU'RE bringing up that possibility that it's annoying then it probably is a little bit!

:) :hi:


But don't stop laughing! Laughing is good.

7. I was in a play once, and in the front row was a girl who literally brayed
like a donkey when she laughed. It was somewhat distracting, at first.

10. Ladies should always put their hands to their mouths
and emit a tiny feminine titter.

18. Sorry to use such an archaic term.
Hearty guffaws are always preferred.
The job is gong well so far. Since it's an ad agency, there is the usual amount of idiocy. I've survived that before, though.
Thanks for the hug!

13. I'm not sure I can really titter.
Maybe a tit or two, but that's about my limit.:P

12. As long as you don't gasp or snort
my 11-yr old son lets me know when I have a cold or laryngitis, that "whiskey drinkers/smokers" kind of laugh is pretty unattractive. When I was ten, my brother was repulsed by my unabashed laughter punctuated with an inhaled snort- "not at all like his ladylike high school girlfriend".
I still love to laugh with conviction. I've been invited to a lot of funny plays over the years- to insure that the funny lines got some good reception from the audience.
:rofl: keep on rolling!

14. I used to cough every time I laughed, when I smoked.
At least I don't do that anymore.

15. You can't change your laugh
any more than you can change your personality. You could try, but your soul would get constipated.

So, laugh, clown! Laugh! :rofl:



(I had a feeling your voice was a bit low-pitched. I bet you talk kinda fast, too.)
