And the more you try to stop, the worse it gets! That happened to me in church one time. And I was there with my mother-in-law! And several young nieces and nephews, who couldn't understand why a grown person was acting up like that! And my mother-in-law made it worse by telling everyone, "Don't look at her!" Talk about embarrassing!
I used to work casualty graveyard shift. There were times that short sleep, getting snowed with patients, and/or the various strange things you hear and see dealing with the public, that one of us would get the giggles and soon all the staff were going hysterical with laughter. The more we tried to smother it, the worse it got. I'm sure the patients didn't appreciate all the laughing, but sometimes it would be just impossible to stop.
