Blind Rage and Comedy

Today I was filled with anger, to the point that I needed to punch something. I had never had to deal with rage like this. With emotions welling up, I made a comment about how having a girlfriend would be convenient right now, thinking about someone to come home to and relax me. However, my co-worker jokingly responded with: "So you can hit her?". The comment was so out of place, I started laughing and crying at the same time, totally relieving me of my anger. It is apparent to me now that laughter eclipses even the worst of emotions.
