The worst is when someone does a mini-trip and you giggle before you see the person (yikes, I know it's not good). Guilty as charged. It gets worse when you're trying to hold it together and your cheeks puff up, your eyes start to water, and then it just spills out.

At one stage, there was complete (radio) silence as I lay on the table with my head in my arms trying to pull myself together. After I did and tried to talk about dog poo on the carpet, well, that once again pushed me over the edge.
We can all identify with this loss of control - and it tends to strike at the most inappropriate times. Share your stories with me, I'd love to know I'm not alone here.
