Crump: Beware ‘The Giggle Loop’

Betcha can’t NOT  laugh. There was a British sitcom a few years ago called Coupling that depicted the adventures of six thirtysomethings — sort of like Friends, only better-written and better-acted. One of the characters in the series was named Jeff Murdock, a weird Welshman with some novel ideas about life. One of Jeff’s theories was called “The Giggle Loop,” which he defined as the increasing urge to laugh during a moment of solemnity. He compared it to stacking drinking glasses in a tower; eventually the stack will fall — with disastrous consequences at a particularly inappropriate time. “To know about The Giggle Loop, is to become part of The Giggle Loop,” he explained/ Steve Crump , Twin Falls Times-News.
