Well as a well-known inane idiot of long standing let me cast my
delayed vote for the laugh being part of "Love And Anger". To me it is
an ideal riposte to the "Yeah" rather than distracting from it at all.
I can see no connection with the laugh and Kate's stated elements
behind "The Fog", i.e. that of relationships, trying to let go of
people and slipping into the fog.

In fact, it's obvious to anyone who isn't Dan Quayle that it belongs at the
end of "Love and Anger".
