How to use laugh in a sentence?

  1. Courtesy Loni James:

    Maybe someone’s not going to pick up a book about Egypt or Namibia or Tunisia. But maybe they would be intrigued by my dating story, and if they happen to learn these other things about this country during that dating story, then I consider that a huge bonus, i realize Egypt maybe is n’t on everybody’s bucket list, maybe Morocco is n’t, even Namibia. When I write about these places, I hope it builds a curiosity … I hope the stories make people laugh, dream and cross oceans to meet interesting people all over.

  2. Adriano Diogo:

  5. J. Russel Lynes:

    If you can't ignore an insult, top it if you can't top it, laugh it off and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved.
