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 knight who was so proud of his shiny armor. He went into a tavern and tried to sit on a rickety old chair. But his armor was so heavy that he broke the chair and ended up on the floor. And as he was trying to get up, his helmet got stuck between two floorboards. He flailed around helplessly for a while, much to the amusement of the other patrons in the tavern.
One memorable story is when we were doing a heist in Payday 2 and we were supposed to be quiet and stealthy. But then my teammate's character sneezed really loudly, which immediately alerted all the guards. We all just looked at each other and burst out laughing. We then had to fight our way out, which was not the plan at all.
There's a great funny man story. This man went to a job interview and instead of answering the questions seriously, he told a series of jokes. For example, when asked about his strengths, he said 'My strength is that I can make the office coffee with my eyes closed, and it might even taste good!' The interviewers were so amused that they remembered him for a long time.
I remember a community assembly where they had a guest speaker. The speaker was using a lot of big words and seemed very serious. But then a little bird flew into the hall and landed on his head. He was so startled that he lost his train of thought and started flailing his arms around to shoo the bird away. The unexpected interruption and his comical reaction made it a really funny assembly story.
