Swatsurgeon sir, I get what you are saying, but was it still okay for the pre-med student to break out laughing in front of the woman (if that is what he did)?

Broadsword....no, it's not appropriate to snicker, laugh, etc infront of the person....I didn't take it as such with Penn's description. Although, there have been times where stories are so crazy or as the person/patient is explaining their issue, someone on the team will laugh and try to cover it.....what was said is usually so ridiculous to the average person but the person/patient is so wrapped up in their story or description that something utterly stupid or silly comes out of their mouth....we usually apologize on the spot and try to show them that what they said made no sense, etc. A lot of times the person/patient sees the humor after we explain, sometimes not.
Comedy is situational and the best comedians have a keen sense of SA, they can read an audience as can patrons of retail establishments...sometimesw they know and sometimes they have no idea how stupid, crazy, aloof, immature, etc they sound until someone around them starts to laugh.
My only issue with the originial Rem Rdr post was his stance against Penn....which was inappropriate. Enough said, now back to our regularly scheduled comedy.
