At my first construction job, I was given the task of carrying some tools to the site. I had no idea how heavy they were. As I picked up a large box of tools, I lost my balance and almost fell over. My supervisor saw it and came to help me. He told me that everyone makes mistakes when they start. We had a great conversation after that and it was a funny start to my work there.
Sure. There was this Dimir agent who was trying to be sneaky. He hid in a barrel but didn't realize it was full of fish. When the owner of the barrel opened it, the stench and the squirming fish along with the startled agent made for a really funny scene.
A Shadowrun group was infiltrating a high - rise building. The infiltrator, who was known for his stealth skills, managed to get into the elevator shaft. But as he was climbing up, his foot slipped and he started sliding down. He grabbed onto a cable to stop himself, but it set off an alarm. To cover up, the mage quickly cast an illusion spell to make it look like a janitor had accidentally hit the alarm while cleaning. The whole situation was quite funny and they managed to still complete their mission.
Well, there's the story of a dad who planned to sing a lullaby to the baby as soon as it was born. But when the baby arrived, he was so choked up that he couldn't get a single note out. Instead, he just made some really strange croaking noises. Another dad had this elaborate plan to cut the umbilical cord in a very ceremonious way. But when the moment came, he got so nervous that he almost dropped the scissors. And there was a dad who was so eager to hold the baby that he accidentally elbowed the nurse in the face as he reached for the newborn.
My friend once told me about a man who was carrying a large, framed picture of himself. The frame was made of metal and it looked really odd on the X - ray. The security guards thought it might be some sort of hidden compartment or something. He had to take it out and explain that he was just bringing it to his new apartment overseas. It took quite a while to sort out.
Sure. There's a story where a Freemason was giving a speech during a special event at the lodge. He accidentally tripped on his own robe while walking up to the podium. Instead of getting flustered, he made a joke about how the lodge's floors were so shiny they were trying to make him fall. The whole place erupted in laughter and his speech went on smoothly after that.
Sure. A veteran once shared that during a Veterans Day celebration at his post, they had a cooking competition. One team made a 'cake' that was supposed to be in the shape of a tank. But it ended up looking more like a lumpy blob. They all had a great laugh about it and still joke about it every Veterans Day.
Sure. A doctor had a patient who was a bit of a hypochondriac. Every week, he would come in with a new 'ailment'. One time, he said he thought he had a third arm growing. The doctor examined him thoroughly and then said, 'Well, if you do have a third arm growing, it's the most invisible arm I've ever seen!' which made the patient laugh and realize he might be overreacting.
Sure. There was a patient who was so bored that he started making shadow puppets on the wall using the light from the medical devices. The nurses and other patients were entertained. Another patient thought the ICU was a hotel and asked for a room service menu.
I attended a wedding once. I was sitting at the table during the reception and thought the bread plate next to me was mine. So I started buttering it up and taking big bites. Then I noticed that everyone was looking at me strangely. Turns out it was the plate for the person next to me. I apologized profusely and it was really embarrassing, but now it's a funny memory. It taught me to be more careful about whose plate is whose at formal events.
I remember this one time in DBD when the survivors decided to all group up and pretend to be doing a generator right in front of the killer. The killer was so confused that he just stood there for a while. Then one of the survivors did a little dance, and the killer still didn't do anything. Eventually, the survivors scattered and the killer finally snapped out of it and started chasing, but by then it was too late as most of us had already escaped. This whole encounter was just really silly and funny.
