Any particular passages that made you laugh??

Hi All, I have just been reading the thread about the books that made us cry. While most of them are not designed to make us laugh, there must be certain passages that have made us laugh? My most memorable (for now - it's nearly middnight here in Melbourne!!) was from the Dark Half - I was on a train and literally laughed out loud when I read it - Thad was imagining a William and Wendy conversation, and it ended something like, " oh dear, I think I've **** in my pants". It was just hilarious!

Hi,

Well, there are many but the most recent was from Duma Key - 'I think that ones got a lump in it!'.

Long days and pleasant nights

I was rereading something in Rose Madder not to long ago, and it was an area where Norman is looking for Rose, and everything that is going on is from his perspective. I can't remember exactly what it was but it was his own thought process, and he was such a whack job. I wasn't expecting it, it was so crazy and deranged, and that's what made me laugh. I remember reading it out loud to my husband. Who by the way just shook his head and told me I was sick. I guess I just have that dark humor.

there's a whole pile of em. a few that come to mind is one from roadwork when the protagonist, bart i think his name is, ran an appliance, a blender i think, all night long until the motor burned up, something about the energy crisis. guess they had one at the time, 70s maybe. another one is when callahan gets on the bus and the driver tells him no cutting up and callahan thinks or says out loud, that's a big ten-four, no cutting up. none of em are funny out of context though, seems like, cept for a few, like the lump thing.

TONS. I can't think of any specific ones right now, but in every book there is something that just tickles me.

I just love that moment when I am reading, and am really into the story, and connected strongly with the characters. Something horrible, or scary or traumatic will happen, and then someone cracks wise, making me laugh. It is such a small but important reminder that there is sweet with the sour. For me, a small joy but a touching one.

Or maybe I am reading waaay to much into it. (pun definitely intended)

On Writing has me made laugh countless times...

How about from The Body, The Revenge of Lardass Hogan. Gawd, that whole tale cracks me up.

Long days and pleasant nights.

When Eddie said to Roland, before they crossed the door to the beach, in DT2 "anyway, I had nothing better to do tonight". Almost everything that Eddie says in that book makes me laugh but this one was the best. Also from DT2, it is very fun when Roland doesn`t understand something from this world, or he can`t pronunce words... it is one of the books that made me laugh most.
In the green mile when Tuu plays the role of the prisoner when they are practising for an execution (in the movie it made me laugh much more than in the book)
And there are many mores.. but those are my favourites (or at least the ones I remember better)
