Fall from grace

If you're going to fall in this Winter of our Discontent, you might as well have a good laugh -- and make someone else's day. Faith Tonna, of Coeur d'Alene, did just that last week while walking along the 1000 block of E Ironwood Drive. She stepped into a snowberm up to her thing, right leg only. Before she had navigated out of the snowy situation, she had fallen forward onto her face. But she didn't hurt herself, wet but uninjured. Looking around, she notice a woman in a nearby parking lot covering her mouth to hide the laughter. Faith chuckled and waved: "Glad I made someone's day," she Facebook afterward.

Question: Is it good form to laugh when someone falls on snow or ice?
