Tell me more funny one liner stories.

One example is 'I believed in myself, never gave up, and became a best - selling author.' Self - belief is crucial. If you don't believe you can succeed, you likely won't. And not giving up through rejections and setbacks is what separates the successful from the rest.

The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock at the door.

Here's one: 'The old doll's eyes follow me around the room.' Dolls are often associated with unease in horror. The idea that the doll's eyes can move and follow you creates a feeling of being watched. It taps into the fear of the inanimate coming to life and having an awareness, which is a common and disturbing horror trope.

Sure. Here's one: I used to be a baker, but I couldn't make enough dough.

There was a paladin in our DND game. He tried to smite an evil cultist and rolled a nat one. His smite missed completely and he accidentally hit a holy statue nearby, which then crumbled. The paladin was horrified as he thought he had committed a great sin. But the rest of us couldn't stop laughing at the absurdity of it all. This led to some interesting role - playing as he tried to atone for his 'accidental desecration'.

There was a knock on the door at midnight. When I opened it, a cold wind blew and a voice said, 'Let me in.' I knew it was a ghost. This story gives me chills every time I think about it. It makes you wonder what would have happened if I had let the 'thing' in. And it plays on the fear of the unknown, the idea that there could be something lurking outside, waiting for an invitation to cross the threshold into our safe space. It's simple yet very effective in creating a sense of horror.

My neighbor once tried to make pancakes. He poured the batter on the pan and went to get some coffee. When he came back, the pancake had spread all over the stove. He said it looked like a modern art piece. Then he tried to flip it with a spatula, but it just stuck everywhere and ended up looking like a gooey mess.

Cantor had some interesting stories. He was dealing with the concept of infinity in set theory. His ideas were so revolutionary that many of his contemporaries had a hard time accepting them. There were some humorous situations where other mathematicians would be completely baffled by his theories, like when he showed that there are different 'levels' of infinity. It was like he was speaking a different language in the world of math, which is both fascinating and kind of funny in retrospect.

A student failed an exam. But he said, 'Now I know exactly what not to do next time. It's like I got a free lesson on how not to study.' His optimistic view helped him to not be too down about the failure.

A man put Bengay on his back before going to bed. In the middle of the night, he rolled over onto his stomach and woke up suddenly because the cold feeling on his back was so intense. He thought there was a ghost or something cold on him. When he realized it was just the Bengay, he had a good laugh at his own silliness.
