Observing Laughter

Walking into the hall of Scharbauer after leaving class today, I noticed quickly the rain coming down outside.     It was apparent that I was going to get very wet waiting for the bus.  I then got Nicks attention who had a ride waiting and asked if I could get a ride as well.  Nick said I could and we took off running through the rain.  Neither of us were prepared for rain, no rain jacket or umbrella.  Not wanting to wait it out, Nick starting walking quickly through the rain.  I waited a few seconds and started running toward the parking lot. Nick began running along with me and we were both getting drenched.  Toward the end of the jog we were both soaking wet and could see the waiting car.  Sitting in the driver seat, our ride was laughing wildly at us both.  Why was she laughing so hard? It seemed like an example of Superiority Theory, she was dry and comfortable in the driver seat of the car while we were soaking wet.  I didn't think it would be funny that we were going to make her car seats wet, but she might not have cared about that.  She said we were running in the exact same way, not a full sprint but fast enough that we clearly wanted to get out of the rain.  Our faces looked concentrated and not entirely helpless.  I wondered if she thought it was funny the way we just happened to be running the same or if it was funny that two unprepared people were getting soaked.  It seemed as though it was basically funny that we had been caught out in the rain, but our same faces only increased the humor in the situation.
