What are the most memorable funny oilfield stories?

One of the most famous oilfield ghost stories involves a phantom truck. In an oilfield, there is a tale of a large, old - fashioned truck that drives around at night with no driver. The truck was once involved in a fatal accident where the driver died. Now, it roams the oilfield roads as if it's still making deliveries. Some workers have reported seeing it disappear into thin air when they try to approach it, adding to the mystery of the story.

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.

There was an old - timer in the oilfield who was known for his superstitions. One day, he refused to start a new drill because his lucky hat was missing. His colleagues were amused but also a bit impatient. Eventually, they found the hat in his truck. When he put it on and started the drill, it worked smoothly. His colleagues still tease him about it to this day.

The one where a cat got stuck in a box and thought it was being sneaky while everyone could see it. It was quite funny.

One memorable story is about a commando who was trying to be stealthy but stepped on a twig that made an incredibly loud snap. He froze in place like a statue. His comrades had to hold in their laughter so as not to give away their position. Another is when a commando accidentally used the wrong radio frequency and started chatting with a group of civilian hikers instead of his team. It led to some very confused and funny exchanges.

A really memorable funny AWOL story involves a soldier who got the wrong day off. He thought it was his day to leave the base, so he went AWOL. He went all the way home, only to be called back by his superiors. He was so confused and embarrassed when he realized his mistake. There was also the case of a soldier who went AWOL to enter a pie - eating contest in a nearby town. He just couldn't resist the opportunity to win some free pies, but he had to pay a price when he got back to the military.

One story that stands out is when Batman was training a new sidekick. He set up an elaborate obstacle course in the Batcave. But the sidekick's pet dog got loose and ran through the course, knocking over everything and causing chaos. Batman was left scratching his head as the dog happily wagged its tail among the wreckage.

One memorable Pathfinder story was when our group entered a haunted mansion. The bard in our party thought it would be a great idea to sing a spooky song to set the mood. Well, he was so into it that he didn't notice a real ghost floating right behind him. When he finally turned around and saw it, he let out a scream that was louder than any spell we had ever heard. It was so funny to see his bravado disappear in an instant.
