We laughed, Emily, because Andy High delivered that comment as a self-deprecating, can-you-believe-it joke, Re: "I'm in charge of the builders association, and even I bought at the peak one month before the crash! Can you believe it?" type of comment. So we all laughed. I mean, I was sitting right there. Mr. High tried to infuse a lot of humor into his comments all night long, if you take another listen. Your lead makes it sounds like the entire audience was happy for his misfortune! So not true. Laughing with, not at.
