I think one of the most humorous emotions in the world is sophistic desperation. It's the emotion that, when you see it on someone else, looks like that person really has to go to take a shit and is walking towards the bathroom and they know that the bathroom is really far a way and they really want to get there but they don't want to look like they have to shit so they walk kind of fast, but not too fast, and they look somewhat pained because they're not sure if they can make it or not. I just think that's really funny.
For some reason I always see that emotion when I walk through the computer lab during may term. I think it is because everyone really wants to be outside but they know they should do their homework so they do it. But the whole time they're in the lab they desperately want to go outside because it's beautiful, even when it's raining. But the desperation that they feel isn't true desperation, because they know that, really, it's just a paper. It's not like they are dying. Babies with bad gas do a much better job of looking like they are in true distress than people in the computer lab during may term.
