is laughing self perpetuating?

I noticed that, if something is extremely funny and I actually (literally) laugh out loud, I end up spending 5 minutes or more unable to stop, almost involuntarily, unintentionally, and unconsciously.

Within a minute I pretty much forget what's the funny, and my body seems to continue the act of laughing, is it just intertia? or am I just laughing while I catch my lost breath? or is there some brain chemistry that makes laughing perpetuate even after I've forgotten what I'm laughing about?

No not at all, you are just being a human. Like I laugh at stuff that happened yesterday but a week from now i will think its really stupid but even funnier....Perhaps it is the brain..but it just happens to all of us..or at least the best of us
