In an oilfield, there was a competition among the workers to see who could build a makeshift shelter the fastest. One worker used all kinds of strange materials he found around the site. His shelter looked like a wobbly, lopsided hut. When a strong wind came, it almost blew away. Everyone was in stitches seeing his 'creative' building skills and how it couldn't stand up to the elements.
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.
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.
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.
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 really funny story is about a person who tried to drive a shopping cart thinking it was a car. He was in the supermarket parking lot and just hopped into a cart and started 'driving' it down the lanes. The security guards had a hard time catching him as he weaved in and out of the parked cars. He was completely oblivious to how crazy he looked. Another memorable one was a man who got into his car and started driving backwards on the highway because he thought he was in a movie and that was the cool way to drive.
One memorable story is about an amiibo that was meant to bring a new costume to the character in the game. But when scanned, it made the character's head disappear. Just the body was running around with no head, which was both strange and funny.
In a Diablo multiplayer game, a team was facing a really tough boss. But one player's pet kept getting in the way and distracting the boss, causing it to miss most of its attacks. Instead of being annoyed, the team started cheering on the pet and making up a whole backstory about how the pet was the 'true hero' of the fight. It was a really light - hearted and funny moment during an intense battle.
I remember a story where CNN covered a food - related event. There was a cook - off competition and one of the contestants made a dish that looked completely unappetizing but was named in a very fancy way. The reporter's reaction as he tried to describe the dish in a positive light was really funny. It was a great mix of food and humor in CNN's coverage.
