What exactly is a crying spell?

I'm crying again....but not for the seals.  I'm weeping at the thought of a horrid typo.

I'll buy you all the beer you can drink........you'll need it as we watch the live feed of the Canadian baby seal slaughter. It's really great TV. Sarah Palin probably comes down to join in for relaxation. They club the babies to stun them and then skin them alive. Rich Europeans just LOVE the feel of baby sealskin coats.

Barkeep..........another round here, please! Oh, and another box of Kleenex.


(Did I spell everything correctly?) ROFLMAO

You owe me a beer.

The dictionary defines it as "A fit of weeping." I think that's a pretty good description.
I will "cry" at a sad movie, or when the TV shows pictures of baby seals being clubbed to death or whaling ships firing harpoons into those magnificent creatures, wolf kills from the air, diasasters in Haiti and Japan.
But I will have a heart wreching "crying spell" that I don't have control over when I learn a friend has died, if someone I really care about has betrayed me, any time something happens that causes great personal hurt.
Well, that's MY idea of a crying spell.
Just out of curiosity, why do you ask?
Peace
