If you are having a drink of milk, or something else, why does it pour out of your nose if someone makes you laugh?

When you laugh while drinking, the milk might get brought to the back of the mouth and then get pushed through your nasal cavity with your exhaled breath. Er, well, it makes sense the way I'm thinking of it, but I don't think I've explained it properly.

It's just because you're sloppy!
I think it could come out around your eyes too; if I hold my nose , close my mouth and blow, hard I can feel air coming out around my eyeball. I have never mentioned this to anyone before - am I odd (only in that way, I mean)?
Now, if you could make it come out of your ears. . . .
