And it was a very, very horrible thing.
And one of the police officers who had to stand guard over the scene took inappropriate photographs and put them on the WhatsApp group of this crime scene.
I absolutely guarantee you they were trying to be funny.
It doesn't make it funny, but I'm certain that's what the intent was.
And that's one of the reasons why it's so shocking.
I'm not saying it's right at all, but that's, I think, an extreme example of this crime.
what you find in high stress jobs, which often is this very dark sense of humor, which is still aimed at getting laughter, but also really in an exaggerated way, keeping other people out.
People always want to know if it's different between men and women.
Pretty much everything I've talked about here is the same for men and women.
The only thing that comes up a bit is that everybody laughs more contagiously with someone they know than someone they don't know.
Male and female familiarity absolutely rules for contagious laughter.
I think women may have learned to use laughter as perhaps a way of managing situations with unfamiliar men who can be something of a little bit of a mixed bag.
The first one is laughter is never neutral.
And that's why it can sometimes be something that alarms you or amuses you.
But it always has meaning and your brain is always trying to work out that meaning.
It's a very good tell about when things feel a little bit off, if laughter is wrong or if laughter is absent.
So I think that's an important thing to remember.
Listen to your own laughter.
Who do you laugh with?
Who makes you laugh?
