Yes but when the laughter is captioned, does the joke of
it being fake laughter come across? And is the fake laughter
of a Deaf person signed in any way? Some times English
speaking people will say something like, "HaHa that was
sooooo funny" Meaning of course they didn't think it was
very funny at all. Is their a sign that would combine
laughter and sarchasim?
