DestinedToBeAPotato, I had to laugh at your malfunctioning alarm story. I know what you mean about feeling bad because you know you're meant to be solemn during such a moment, but it's impossible not to laugh sometimes!
It's as if the more serious or quiet the scenario is, the funnier small things seem...
One time, when I was about 11, our whole class had been misbehaving all day and we knew we were in trouble. The teacher was in the middle of chastising us and, because she was so angry, mispronounced a word but apparently I was the only one who found it immensely humorous. She was already at the end of her tether so luckily she didn't catch my suppressed giggles.
Maglevsky, I'm not sure that I can personally relate to the 'liberation laugh'. Perhaps that's because I haven't often had the experience of overcoming fear / inhibitions. I think I've seen it in others though.
