Death from laughter

(via standardgrey)

On 24 March 1975, Alex Mitchell, a 50-year-old bricklayer from King’s Lynn, England, died laughing while watching the Kung Fu Kapers episode of The Goodies, featuring a Scotsman in a kilt battling a vicious black pudding with his bagpipes. After twenty-five minutes of continuous laughter Mr. Mitchell finally slumped on the sofa and expired from heart failure. His widow later sent the Goodies a letter thanking them for making Mr. Mitchell’s final moments of life so pleasant.

    I’ve recently starting waking myself with my own laughter, so perhaps I’ll find my dreams less funny now I’ve read
