This text recounts a series of amusing anecdotes about miscommunications, awkward moments, and uncontrollable laughter in different situations.
In Vietnam, I visited a tiny spa for my first ever massage! The staff couldn't speak English, and I couldn't speak Vietnamese, so we used interesting hand gestures and did a lot of pointing. I pointed to a picture with'30 minutes' for my massage. They handed me a towel and... a shower cap?

After a moment of silence everyone started laughing. Then the teacher said'Well, this was your starting signal, Go!' We wrote the test and during the whole 45 minutes from somewhere in some row somebody started laughing by themselves again and infected a couple of other people. This suppressed laughter is the funniest and spreads like a virus. It were some very long 45 minutes for me.I was working long hours building a studio set. I ended up staying in a nearby Travelodge, paid for by work. The next day, in front of the carpenters and warehouse guys and all assembled people I said to the boss'Thank you for last nigh
