There was this shidduch where the matchmaker said the boy was a 'bookworm'. So the girl brought up all these classic novels on their date, thinking they could have an intellectual conversation. But the boy thought 'bookworm' meant he liked to read comic books. He was a bit embarrassed when he realized the misunderstanding, but they both found it really funny. And from that point on, they started exploring different types of books together.
In a rather funny shidduch situation, the girl was told the guy was 'a great cook'. When they had dinner at his place on their second date, he served her microwaved frozen dinners. When she looked at him in surprise, he said that by 'great cook' he meant he could make a mean bowl of cereal. It was so unexpected that they both burst out laughing and it became a story they always told their friends.
Well, in one shidduch story, the matchmaker told the girl that the boy was very musical. When they met, the boy started humming tunes constantly. The girl later found out that the matchmaker meant he liked to listen to music, not that he was a wannabe singer. They both had a good laugh about it later.
Well, the trend of DIY haircuts in 2020 was quite funny. A lot of people attempted to cut their own hair when salons were closed. Some ended up with really strange and uneven hairstyles that they had to live with for a while. It was funny to see their before - and - after pictures on social media.
There was a situation where in a shidduch, the communication was just completely off. The matchmaker didn't really convey the personalities of the two people well. The girl was really outgoing and loved to travel and explore new things, while the guy was very much a homebody who liked to just stay in and read. When they met, they had absolutely nothing to talk about. It was really uncomfortable, like two people from different planets trying to have a conversation. It was a disaster of a shidduch.
In 2020, my local community organized a drive - by birthday parade for a 90 - year - old neighbor. The cars were all decorated with balloons and signs. But one car's balloons got loose and started flying all over the place. It was chaos but also really funny. It made the old man laugh a great deal.
One memorable one is about a man who left his beloved old hat to his parrot in his will. The parrot would then perch on the hat and cackle as if it knew it was now the owner of this special hat.
Well, there's a story where a person called 911 because their ice cream cone melted too fast. They were so distraught over losing their treat that they thought it was a major crisis. Another is when someone called because their cat was stuck on the roof, but the cat came down right as the firefighters arrived. It was hilarious.
One memorable story is about a gangsterbb called Max. He was in a 'negotiation' with another gang. He was trying to act all tough and intimidating. But his pants accidentally split right in the middle of the meeting. Everyone burst out laughing, and the tense situation turned into a comedy. He was so embarrassed that he just ran away. It was really funny how something so unexpected could completely change the mood.
One funny story is about a tenant who painted the entire apartment bright pink without permission. When the landlord saw it, his face was priceless. He immediately evicted the tenant. Another time, a tenant filled the bathtub with live fish and was using it as a makeshift fishpond. The landlord walked in and couldn't believe his eyes. That led to an eviction too.
I heard of an evangelist who visited a school. He was showing a picture of Jesus to the kids. One kid asked if Jesus could play basketball. The evangelist said yes. And the kid then said he wanted to play with Jesus because he thought Jesus would be really good at dunking. It was a really cute and funny moment that opened up a great discussion about Jesus' superhuman abilities in a kid - friendly way.
I remember this time when my pal liked a girl in our class. I became the wingman. I noticed she always sat in the same spot in the library. So I convinced my friend to also study there. One day, I 'accidentally' spilled my coffee near her table. My friend helped clean it up and they started talking. It led to a great friendship and later something more. This story is funny because it was all about being in the right place at the right time and using a little clumsiness to our advantage.
