We’re Not Helping Each Other Calm Down

What it does

Mutual amusement in a feedback loop; every attempt at recovery gives the other person fresh material.

Use it when

  • Two people cannot stop laughing.
  • A shared joke escalates beyond speech.
  • Composure fails collectively.

For example

  1. One choir member misses the entrance and the other cannot look at them again without laughing.
  2. You both try to explain the typo to the stern committee chair.
  3. The dog's formal portrait keeps sliding off the easel.
