Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat (c. 1667 - 9 April 1747) was executed at the Tower Of London for treason. Immediately prior to the axe falling, the scaffolding erected to hold the watching spectators collapsed. Simon thought this so funny he laughed uncontrollably until the executioners axe fell. Hence the expression, laughing your head off
