It may be an infrequent occurrence, but yes, you can.
You have two "pipes" in your throat area. One of them is your esophagus, which is where food goes to enter your stomach. The other "pipe" is our trachea, which is where air goes to get to your lungs.
If you are laughing/talking while eating since you are breathing in air with the food, the air may push back the food into your trachea, causing you to cough or even choke.
Food should go through your esophagus.
Air always goes through your trachea.
