Laughter

I only ask because I'm constantly told that mine's quite er... distinctive. It's a sad ignominious state to be known so well for your laugh I can tell you but at the genuinely funny it's hard to supress something with the trilling velocity of a caffeinated mandrill and the clucking amiableness of Dr. Hibbert. So at times suffer my friends/colleagues/others must. I think I might be making it sound more Mutley than it is, so also to add that it's dismayingly nasal and truncately terminated by a girlish sigh. The sound has been described as indistinguishable between being genuine amusement and horrible nervousness. Although some have said that it's charming, personally, having heard it recorded once I could only describe it as annoying.

Of course, alot of you may be already familiar with eachother's laughter but I thought it might be amusing and/or interesting to see them described in text form.
Your own or another lither's if it pleases you more.

I'm referring to my own reaction to something genuinely amusing here but also feel free to describe whatever laughter variations you may have. Whether that which might emanate from behind your secret beard's crying face or that glib chuckle you might give when reading a mid nineties x-universe comic, (or not).

I laugh like John Rotten and go "tee-hee". Not really, but I love his giggle.

I'm told I laugh like a villain, "Mwah ha ha ha ha!" I have no mustaches to twirl, however.

I can laugh like Nog.

I snort like a moderately amused walrus.

Ganesh laughs like Jeremy Paxman playing around with a new vibrator.

I enjoy laughing without restraining myself. If I think something's funny, especially about myself, I just let rip. I suppose it's a big Yorkshireman belly-laugh when I'm on form.

Sometimes--actually, I haven't done it in a long time, but sometimes I like to fake-laugh, and if you do it long enough and forcefully enough it becomes real, insane laughter.

That's the basis of laughter therapy, Q: fake it 'til you make it.

Up through my early thirties, I had a high, girlish giggle. Over the past few years, though, it's morphed into sort of a wheezy cackle. I've become one of those people whose laugh begins with a sound akin to a lethal asthma attack:

"KKKHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeh heh heh heh hah hah ha HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW!!"
