Re: Why are they laughing?

When the speech is soooooo damn boring, it's easy pickin's to tell a lame "And then my wife pointed out that my of my socks was light gray and the other was...I sheepishly agreed...was dark gray."

Ha ha ha....

Re: Why are they laughing?

Anything even faintly resembling real life, including marital discord, is such a relief to the bored-stiff audience that they will reward it with a laugh.

It's the "see, mormons are normal" reaction. That's a laugh of relief, and also a laugh of "thank god somebody woke me up before I started drooling."

Re: Why are they laughing?

Maybe there is sign in the conference center that tells people when to laugh? Sitcoms in the past have done this trick.
