Okay, I'm sorry, but if something is funny I'm going to laugh. And once I start, I find it extremely hard to stop. I have embarrassed every member of my family, and anyone else who agrees to go places in public with me. 
I HAVE gotten better about trying to hold it in, laughing silently, or leaving the scene of the incident. There have many times where I have laughed so hard that tears start running down my face, I can't straighten myself out, and I know I must look like a total idiot, or someone who is crying, not laughing. That would be okay at home, but it's not always appropriate in a public place.
Recently, my daughter and I were in a local pizza place waiting to pick up our order. Names were called as the orders came up, and we heard an employee shout out, "Rollo, your pizza is ready!" Well, my daughter leans over to me and says, "I expect to see someone with really big shoes and a big, red nose picking up that pizza." That's all it took. I was gone.
Everyone knows how easy it is to get me going, and there have been many times that I've had to leave a store, or similar place, without buying anything because I couldn't straighten myself out enough to actually get through a checkout line.
Just hearing other people laughing can set me off.
Anyone else have this "problem"?
BTW- This is nothing new. I've always been this way, even when I was very young!
