My take is that spirituality encompasses the act of living essentially. We are souls and spiritual beings, expressing our soul-spirit selves in the physical while incarnated. Every thought, deed and conversation then is spiritual, if one sees things that way.
Laughing and joking and keeping things light with friends and loved ones can be as deeply spiritual as any human act. When I am laughing with all my heart, I am as true to myself as I can possibly be. Perhaps it's more just a question of conversational intensity and seriousness, rather than spirituality.
