The first person stood up and told a very funny joke about an Englishman who

fell in love with his umbrella. When he finished, he was  61 tears of laughter, for he always laughed at his  62 jokes. The rest of the group remained  63 silent. You could tell from their faces and their eyes  64 they found the joke funny, but not one of them was going to laugh, and give him the chance to  65 the competition. The second told a story about a three-legged pig,  66 was so good that, some years later, a film company made a  67 of it. When she sat down, the others buried their faces  68 their handkerchiefs, coughed, pretended to sneeze, dropped pencils under the table-anything to  69 up their laughter. And so it went    70 , joke after joke, the sort of jokes that make your sides ache. And nobody dared to laugh.
