Thai Man Dies While Laughing in Sleep
2003-08-22
BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - An ice-cream truck driver in Thailand died while laughing in his sleep, a newspaper reported Thursday. Damnoen Saen-um, 52, laughed for about two minutes on Wednesday and then stopped breathing, The Nation said, quoting officials.
In his dream, nymph #1 was suggesting a total body oil rub, nymph #2 was doing lewd things, and nymph #3 was telling bawdy jokes. That’s why he was laughing.
The newspaper said Damnoen’s wife tried to wake him up but he kept laughing.
After which she beat him to death.
An autopsy suggested that he might have been beaten by his wife after laughing at her in his sleep had a heart attack, The Nation quoted a doctor as saying. "I have never seen a case like this. But it is possible that a person could have heart seizure while laughing or crying too hard in their sleep," said Dr. Somchai Chakrabhand, deputy director-general of the Mental Health Department, according to The Nation. The incident occurred in Phrae province, 300 miles north of Bangkok.
Important rule: keep the nymphs under control in your dreams, fellas!

#5  I'm not surprised that an ice-cream truck driver would sleep-laugh himself to death. Imagine that horrid seventeen-second loop invading your every non-waking moment. He wasn't laughing happy; he was laughing nuts (and possibly sprinkles).

#4  I'm an RN and I have never heard of a "heart seizure". I am also surprised that Thailand has a mental health dept.

#3  I can state, somewhat sadly, that none of the many women who laughed when they slept with me ever died. Women are the stronger sex.
