The funniest thing in the (real) world...

[Jandalf on Toast]

This is where you get to post all those stories you have of great/funny/hilarious things that have happened to and/or been done by you, a family member, or someone else that you know. It must have actually happened in real life! Because that's what makes these things genuinely funny, after all...

This one takes place at my uncle's cabin up by Clear Lake, the same setting where the bear story happened that you can find in the General Thread. Heh. But anyway. We were staying for a week or weekend in the summer, and we had noticed there was a wasp nest that was hanging off of the eavestroughing. It was right in the corner made by the building and the screened-off porch, with the door into the cabin and the door into the screened area directly on either side of it.

We don't really like wasps that much.

So Dad, being the inventive mastermind that he is, first went over to the barbeque that lay directly under the wasp's nest, opened it, and turned it on. Then he went into the screened-in area with a coat hanger that he had (shutting the screen door securely behind him) and stood on the couch's armrest, poking the end of the wire through a small hole that had been made for wiring purposes. He prodded the top of the wasp nest with it, and it fell down. Right onto the barbeque. (cackles) He stayed behind the screen for a good while, and the wasps didn't come back.

I love my family...

lol! I have a family story....
We were over at our uncle's house for my cousin's graduation from highschool and we were all playing cards. My cousin needed more cards, so he asks my mom,
"Aunt, could you pass me three more cards?"
Now his mom leans across the table and says, "What's the special word we use?"
He turns, smiles, and says,
"Now."


*Disclaimer: He's not a rude guy, and usually very good with his manners.

lol, now my bestest of buddies is goin ta hate me for remembering this but its too funny to let go of...

so we were over at CPs house for a random party, very small, but eh... and she statred playing tag with my friend BS. her house is like this giant "O" shape which is really amusing and has the staires going up through the middle... and they were chasing eachother in circles round it... all the floors in the house btw, are lamination or hardwood. mostly hardwood. there was a table set up off in the corner of one of the rooms that forms he "O"...
so they're chasing eachother round... CP, slips on the floor cuz shes in socks... goes flying BS trips over her, lands on top of her, and they both go FLYING into the table of food, and dip goes everywhere, followed closely by: cake, carrots, celery, and chicken wings. twas soooo funny, though it took quite a while to clean up... but the amusement was worth it... if only we'da had videa cam...

Wow.. I know a lot of people with the initials of BS. Though one of them could use a little death...

All right, good Spanish class story. It's the second to last day of Spanish, so none of us are doing any work, though we're all faking it, because we don't really fancy dying right before school gets out. Anyway, two of my friends decide to have a paper war. One of them is super quiet -- though he's coming out a little, I think. We love him anyway... -- and, by random circumstances, he discovers that you can shoot little wads of paper with his shoe, and make them go super far and hard. So, he starts shooting them at my other friend, who I shall name M, and opposed to the quiet one, who shall be R. So, R is happily (and silently) shooting paper at M. One of them flies off course, and hits my other, rather boisterous friend, who shall be A. A thinks this other obnoxious kid, who I choose not to name, is the one who threw it. So he picks up the paper, and throws it as hard as he can at this innocent kid.

Meanwhile, R is laughing so hard that he has to turn around so as not to make any noise. The rest of us are doubled over, 'cause we know who actually shot the paper. Soon thereafter, my evil teacher who is the cause of my less-than-I-want grade average becomes invovled, nearly getting A kicked out of class. He accused the unnamed kid, and we all backed him up, which sent R into these weird convulsions of laughter. A still thinks it was the obnoxious kid.

If you turn on the hose and leave it on the ground, my friend's dog will bite it and shake it around everywhere. And if you put your thumb in the hose and spray it at the dog, she'll bite at it and chase it around.

I was in this play with 14 other kids that were two years younger than I, a play about Cinderella. We hadn't done it in about two months, so the lines, which used to be pounded into our skulls, weren't as fresh as usual. There's a part where I mention start reciting a part of Romeo and Juliet and the others have no idea who wrote it. I try to get them to understand. The line goes, "The Bard! (confused looks from everyone else) The Globe? (Still confused) William Shakespeare?!?" But this time it was... "The Bard! ....the Globe? Cinderella?!? I mean, William Shakespeare's, Cinderella." Mortification ensued.

Here's a recent one. My friends and I were sitting in the hall after lunch and were talking. There was a room nearby that was under construction. As one of my friends opened his mouth to reply to a comment a really loud grinding noise started. He timed his mouth perfectly so it looked like he had made that noise.

Funny quote from our lunch:
P1(usually quite a loud guy):"I'm going to not talk for the rest of this day!"
*silence for one second*
*apple is thrown at his head*
P1:"OWW!!!!!!!!!"
Hehe...one of those moments.
