It is genetic. I have heard some snorts, guffaws, and heeeeeeee haws from you my dear.
Trip Down Memory Lane: I have been told when I when I laugh I sound like a beagle stuck in a tree.
Granted I have never had that opportunity to hear that sound but I will just have to take my friend's word for it.
Reminds me of a guy I work with. Did you ever see the Disney movie Pinnochio? I think of this guy when one of Pinnochio's friends turns into a donkey. It fits.
Thanks for the word.
The word, Cachinnate, alone makes me glad I am silently amused by all i see.
Use it in a sentence...hmmmm
When the opposition speaks, I can't help but become cachinnate.
mom: you know now that I think about it I can definitely understand the beagle thing : )
eotr: I have never seen that movie.
sandy: you're welcome.
twm: nice sentence.
