I was in the weekly staff meeting, and the boss was droning on about production rates, pareto charts, just-in-time inventory systems, blah blah blah..... And there was a fly buzzing around the room. The fly kept landing on this ladies cup of water, and she kept brushing it away. And watching that fly on that cup of water... something in my mind made me imagine the fly taking a dip, having a bath in the water, and shaking like a dog. There was something so hilarious about that image, that I couldn't help myself and busted out laughing, and couldn't stop. The whole meeting came to a stop because I was laughing so much, and I was too embarrassed to try to explain. The boss thought I was laughing at something he said. I should have ran out in the hall, but I didn't. The boss came to me later, and asked me what was so funny, and I still couldn't talk about it. It was just such a stupid thought, and I couldn't begin to explain.
Sad part is, I was fired from that job not long after that. Everyone thought I was "weird". Good part is, the company named their products after serial killers, and I couldn't stand working for sick twisted freaks anyway.
If you get too depressed, just remember, "shake like a dog." But not during a meeting.
