Fits of laughter-- Ice Man?
When Chance and I were dating, I brought him over to play games with the fam. We were having a riotous time. We invited Chance to play King Buck with us. This is the ultimate game of charades. The object is to knock the "King" out of the number one spot by making him mess up with his animal charade. Everyone was playing their character quite well, and the game was speeding up. We had all sorts of animals, elephant, chipmunk, mosquito, fish, turtle, turkey...and so on. Now, Chance was a very serious young man. He would barely crack a smile. When he was relaxing, he would stand in the military "at ease" position. You know the one, hands behind the back with clasped fists and feet shoulder width apart. Well, someone was playing their animal really well, and it caught Chance by surprise. He started to laugh. Not just a light ha ha either. It was a belly buster. When Chance was in mid laugh, he hiccuped, followed by a burp! What! Now everyone was laughing. And Chance continued to hiccup-burp the more he laughed. This was just too good. The ice man cracked. There was not a dry eye anywhere in the room. Just fits of laughter. Who knew! This is when we began to see the real Chance.
