Why do foreign people laugh in English?

Okay, I go to a college with a lot of international students. Lots of people from China and other Asian countries, some Latinos, some Hatians, and then a few people from Europe too. And they all speak different languages, but, I can't help but notice that they all laugh in English.

And it's not just that, they also smile in English and sneeze in English too. Don't get me wrong, I respect foreign cultures and languages, but I also wonder.

    It might seem like English but actually the language that we all laugh and sneeze in is simian.

    They want to laugh like a lion and not like an elephant.

    Did you ever think that they might wonder why you do those things in theirs?
