I've got a story. In a company I worked for, they used to hand out paper paychecks. One time, the payroll person misspelled a name so badly that it took ages for the employee to prove it was his paycheck. The whole office was in stitches when they heard the misspelling. And it took a while to sort out the payment properly.
There was this Siamese cat I knew that would always try to imitate the dog in the house. It would bark (or at least make a sound that was its version of barking) and follow the dog everywhere. It was hilarious to see a cat acting like a dog.
Yes. I knew a guy who had hiccups during a job interview. Every time he hiccuped, the interviewer would raise an eyebrow. He tried to play it cool but it was obvious he was embarrassed. In the end, he still got the job because the interviewer thought his hiccups made him seem more human and relatable.
Yes. There was a parrot that learned to mimic the phone ringing. One day, it started 'ringing' while the owner was in the shower. The owner rushed out thinking someone was calling. It was quite a scene.
A guy once tried to impress his date by cooking a fancy dinner. But he accidentally set off the smoke alarm while frying the fish. The whole place filled with smoke and they had to order pizza instead. His date thought it was hilarious.
Well, there was this one time at my old job. The payroll system got hacked, and instead of getting our regular pay, everyone received a random amount. Some got more, some got less. It was chaos for a while until they sorted it out. There were a lot of mixed emotions in the office that day.
Sure. There was a student who got his test booklet wet because he accidentally spilled his water bottle. The ink smeared all over the page and he had to ask for a new one. Another is when a student, in a rush, wore his pajamas to the test center. He was so embarrassed when he realized. Also, a student tried to use a dictionary during the test, thinking it was allowed, and got a big shock when the proctor confiscated it.
Sure. There was this atheist who was asked by a religious person if he was afraid of going to hell. He replied, 'I'm more afraid of going to a place that has an incompetent interior decorator who uses so much fire and brimstone for decoration.' It was a quick - witted response that made those around laugh.
There was this old man in Myanmar. He went to the city for the first time. He saw an elevator and thought it was a magic box. When he entered it, he was shocked when it started moving. When he got out on a different floor, he thought he had been transported to another world. He told this story to everyone in his village with great excitement and wonder, and it became a very funny story in the village.
Sure. Joke: What's the best way to make a baseball team laugh? Just tell them a pitcher - up joke! Get it? Pitcher as in the player and 'pitcher - up' sounding like 'pick - up'.
Sure. There was this one New Year where a neighbor of mine thought it would be fun to set off fireworks from his balcony. But he miscalculated and one of the fireworks flew right into his open window and set off the smoke alarm. The whole building was in chaos for a bit, but we all had a good chuckle about it later.
