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.
There's a story of a young boy at school. He was supposed to say 'good morning' to the teacher but instead said 'goodnight' and then promptly fell asleep at his desk. All the kids in the class couldn't stop laughing. This shows how kids can be so innocent and unpredictable.
There was a girl in our school who was always losing her things. One day, she was looking everywhere for her glasses. Turns out, she had been wearing them on her head all along. We all had a good laugh when she finally realized it. It became a running joke for a while.
One memorable story was when a man came to triage with a parrot on his shoulder. He said the parrot had bitten him and he thought he might get some parrot - borne disease. The parrot was squawking and causing a ruckus in the quiet triage area. Everyone was amused by the odd pair.
During a family gathering, we played a game of charades. My grandfather was trying to act out a movie. He started doing some really strange and over - the - top movements. At first, we were all confused, but then we realized he was completely making up his own version of the movie. It was so funny that we still talk about it years later. We love these family funny stories as they bring us closer together and give us something to laugh about during tough times.
