I made the whole thing up to get some peace from your insipid laughter.

You mean my laugh box isn't broken, and it was a cruel lie that sent me into spiraling depression?

Uh, yeah, well, it sounds pretty harsh when you put it that way, but yeah.

I could laugh the whole time?

Yeah.

Yes!

Bells on it.

Yes, I did.

You even ran foul for the old thermometer and the boiling oil routine.

It's not really that funny, Squidward.

It's hilarious.

See you later.

Look, he's waking up.

Oh, where am I?

You're in the hospital, silly, you broke your laugh box.

The doctor said it was the most tiny, dried out, underused laugh box he'd ever laid eyes on.

So they cut it out.

Cut it out?

Want to see it, it's fun to shake it up and watch it bounce around.

Oh, give me two, oh, I can never laugh again.

Nonsense, your laugh should be stronger than ever.

But you cut out my laugh box.

Yes, but one of your friends generously allowed us to transplant part of theirs to you.

No, they wouldn't pay me.

You're getting warmer.

SpongeBob!

Hey, you laugh just like me.

Ah, there he goes, off to share his laughter with the world.
