If you think in pictures...

If you think in pictures, do you find yourself immensely funny? I mean, as I am listening to people, reading or talking it is all interpreted by pictures. Much of the time, it just seems really funny, like a comedy or cartoon.

i can honestly say, everything is hilarious to me and i always had this problem, where someone will say something that can be pictured into an odd situation and i would start laughing and then, they would get angry at me for laughing at 'at an inappropriate time'

Rarely or no

Yes but for me it's scary when someone describes something bad like child abuse they saw on tv or animal abuse. I use to think I had something wrong cause I would see it in my head like a movie. Then I get really shaky after.

Not always but sometimes. Yesterday I had a funny moment about it: A person talked about christmas and presents and how happy children are about them. She said: "It´s so nice to see the children´s eyes shine when they open the presents." Of course "they" were the children but because in this sentence just the eyes were mentioned I suddendly had a picture in my head about eyes with hands to open presents. It was really weird but also funny. But I recognized that I got it wrong quickly and then had a correct picture.

I saw a picture of children's eyes lighting up like flashlights.

It is like torture. I try to stay away from that material but like when I am on a news site, there will be a hideous topic line that I never wanted to know about that haunts me for years.

I really identify with this. My first thought was a picture of children opening presents with shining eyes because it is a cheesy horror film about evil children possessed by the devil. This was hilarious because it is so far removed from the intention of the original statement - innocent children enjoying the magic of Christmas. Then, I automatically self-corrected and, like above, saw a picture of children's eyes lighting up like flashlights. Lastly, I self-corrected again and got the traditional, timeless image of Christmas. I was thinking, getting it wrong is partly being literal but also focusing on part of the picture instead of the whole (maybe).

Yes. My husband is use to me suddenly giggling at wrong times but I try really hard to suppress it around other people. When I was in college, my mom really wanted me to join a sorority. (Yep, bad idea.) At one of the formal rush parties, we were suppose to leave the house by going down a walkway while the sorority girls sang their song about their sorority. I was in a long dress which I was not use to. I tripped and did a beautiful spread eagle on the pavement. I was picturing it in my mind, at the time, and just started laughing. I found it hilarious. They just thought I was weird. I still laugh over that picture when I think about it.

I saw an picture of light glinting off a child's moist, wide eyes.

I thought of their eyes looking like a cats in the dark.Sort of spooky.
When I was little and they would comb the tangles out of my hair,they would say,"Be still now,so we can get these rats nests out of your hair."I had images of rats colonizing my head at night.No wonder I had sleeping problems.

I saw silver milk bottle tops.
