Evasive Joke

Have you read/heard a joke, and you know it is funny as hell but the most you can do is smiling?

You actually want to laugh your lungs out but for an unexplained reason, you don't.

But you know, and you hear that you're laughing like crazy inside.

Your heart is laughing, deep inside.

Like you are literally laughing with your heart, not your mouth.

Have you ever encounter this kind of evasive cognitive response towards a joke? 

Just like the one i'm encountering now?

Have you?
