The word 'lol' has nothing to do with laughing. One says 'lol' when one wishes to summon the power of a certain mental state. By uttering 'lol', the intent to instantiate the state is announced, and the instantiation begins or is more completely done. But it can also be used as a threat of entering that state, or a bluff.
It's true that part of the power of the 'lol'-state comes from the common misconception that 'lol' has something to do with laughter, so by telling you this I am compromising my gender-specific individuality profile, but since I respect you so much as a poet, a lover, a friend and most of all as a human being, I thought you should know.
