Laughing for No Reason Is a Disease Now? I Thought Laughing Was Healthy!

(actually, the 'symptom' is "laughing- or crying 'uncontrollably'," but ... I don't think it's a symptom of a "disease"---here's why ...)
Sometimes in a lingering moment (when I don't 'have to' concentrate on something), a memory will come to mind--either funny or sad--and I'll react accordingly---laughing or crying for no outwardly apparent reason.
I imagine it happens subconsciously as well---when my body's not having to react to anything physical, it might look to my subconscious memory for 'something to react to' (you might call it 'neurological exercise').
Besides, haven't you ever seen Disney's Mary Poppins (with The Sound of Music's Julie Andrews & D. Van D. from his self-titled sitcom & -from (I think the name of the show is) DIAGNOSIS: MURDER)?
Remember when they went to that one guy's 'tea-party on the ceiling,' with the song "I Love to Laugh"? (You can 'search' with those to find some cool stuff about Mary Poppins!) Sure, at the end of the scene Mary & the children (& the chimney-sweep) had to 'sober up' and "spit-spot" their way back to 'the world'; but why not carry the uncontrollable laughter with you?

It is not a disease, maybe just because that you are a happy man. Sometimes ,I can't help laughing as you. So just laugh as you like.

Thanks for this discussion.
I think many people these days, laugh loudly for no apparent reason; i don't like this.
