Apparently I do the "A-hole" laugh. Here's how it works...
Someone makes a minor joke at someone else's expense. You laugh harder than you really should which:
a) makes the person who is the butt of the joke feel much shame
b) makes the teller of the joke feel bad for telling the joke
c) makes the butt of the joke even madder at the teller of the joke because you can usually incite others to laugh harder than they normally would too.
Win-win-win.
