Seven Types of Hahaha!

T         1. The Fake One

Most annoying, most irritating, most any-other-synonym, this is one laugh which is most popular among the kitty-party aunties. “Your daughter just peed on my new suit! She’s so cute! Hahaha!” No points for guessing that this laughter is applied when you’re actually fuming but can’t do anything to show it. So you just ‘laugh’.

         2. The Silent One

I have a friend who starts laughing when she remembers a joke. And yes, we never get to know when a funny thought is going to come to her mind and she’s going to start laughing in the middle of a serious conversation. More than the unexpected timing, the speciality of this laugh is the sound. The volume, the pitch, the amplitude. This friend I’m talking about? Her laughter is SILENT. She just laughs with her mouth open, eyes closed, her shoulders vibrating. It’s a sight not to be missed.

            3. The Vibrating One (Nothing perverted please)

Well, this one is quite a new discovery for me. Another one of my friends, when she laughs, she vibrates so much that the entire bench vibrates! It’s difficult to not laugh along with her when you’re in class and listening to formation of azo-compounds and suddenly an earthquake hits your bench. Another sight not to be missed. Her shoulders shake with such precise rhythm, I’m not surprised she’s a musician.

        4. The Creepy One

I’m sure everyone knows at least one person who laughs in such a weird manner, it looks like he’s having a seizure. It’s funny to watch at times, but sometimes, you’re wondering if you should shake the person and ask, “Hello, are you okay? Do you need a glass of water, should I call the doctor?” And then there's the 'speed-breaker' kinds in which you desperately want the person to stop for a moment and take a breath before launching another fit of laughter.

        5. The Shy One

I would like to tell the followers of this type of laughter, please don’t laugh as if you’re doing laughter a favour! Are you embarrassed of the best part that makes you YOU? Sure, people might see you and maybe laugh. But how is that a bad thing? You’re spreading happiness! So lose the inhibitions and that hand from in front of your mouth and LAUGH!!

6    6. The Loud One

Sometimes you hear someone laughing and wonder, “what is so damn funny?” Yes, you feel out of place not being included in the joke. But sometimes a loud laugh can really trigger your own laugh and then there’s no stopping from letting those lips carve and those teeth glow! Loud laughs are usually practiced by those who aren’t afraid of the world, who want to draw attention to themselves or who just can’t control their reaction to an epic narration of a situation!

       7.  The Funny One

Sometimes, one’s laughter is funnier than the joke. This is the best type of laughter and not everyone can manage it. Some have this squeaky laughter that when they laugh, you start looking under the bed for mice. Some have a fart-like start to their laughter and some squirt unwanted saliva on others (sometimes this isn’t funny, it’s plain disgusting).

You know which laugh I like best?  The laugh which says “I’m happy and I know it!”

So go on, widen those lips and laugh like there’s no tomorrow!
