I won't post what I laugh about, (if I did I'd remove my own post from embarrassment), but does anyone else do this?
laugh about things that just arn't funny!

It just depends on your audience, I suppose.
I've dealt with and worked with a fair share of people who are law enforcement and first responders and believe me, they can have a very dark, very shocking sense of humor. They'll never make jokes at the time nor say anything to individuals they deal with, but get those guys and gals together...
For them (and me to a certain extent), it served as a defense mechanism. A way to lessen the tension of a very tense job.
