I discovered a few days ago that you can generally tell a certain laugh apart from all others, even if you didn't see what happened. This laugh which you can tell apart from all others: the laugh when someone else gets hurt.
Here's how I discovered you can tell this laugh apart from others: I was sitting in my dorm room on my futon with my boyfriend, and we were playing Monkey Ball on the gamecube. Then all of a sudden we hear a bunch of people next door start cracking up. Now one girl was laughing so hard and so loud. It was the most sincere laugh she could have produced. It was strong, thunderous, and bellowing. She was gasping for air at the end of it, but she just couldn't stop laughing.
"I bet someone got hurt." I said. Just by the strength and honestly of this howling laugh, I could tell. When your friends fall or hit something or walk into doors or walls, that is the exact laugh produced. Humans enjoy watching each other fail.
Watch for it the next time someone gets hurt if you can't understand what I'm trying to convey. You'll get it.
