In a particular church, there was a fundraising event. They were having a bake sale and a silent auction. One of the parishioners accidentally bid on his own item in the silent auction. When he realized what he had done, he was so embarrassed but it was really funny for everyone else. The whole church had a good laugh about it for weeks.
Sure. There's a story about a church where they were having a nativity play. The little boy playing the donkey got so excited that he started running around the stage instead of walking calmly behind Mary and Joseph, making the whole play a lot more chaotic and hilarious.
There was a time when Mozart was composing for a particular opera. He made some of the characters' arias so full of humorous twists and turns in the melody. It was as if the characters were singing in a comical way. For example, the high - pitched notes that came out of nowhere in an aria for a bumbling character made it seem like the character was tripping over his own words, which was a very funny touch to his composition.
Sure. Justin Wilson once attempted to fix his old car. He thought he knew what he was doing but ended up getting grease all over his face and clothes. When his neighbor asked what happened, he just shrugged and said 'I'm just giving the car a new look - the greased up style'. His non -chalant attitude made it a really funny story.
Sure. One story that always gets a laugh is about Phil Mickelson's encounter with a particularly difficult hole. He was having a bit of a tough time with it and after several attempts, he still hadn't managed to get the ball in the right position. So, he decided to try something completely different. He started using his putter for a shot that was normally not done with a putter. His creativity and the comical way he went about it made it a really funny story. And of course, his reaction when it didn't quite work out as he hoped was also very entertaining.
Sure. Take the story of Cinderella. The moral could be seen as 'kindness will be rewarded'. It's funny in the sense that Cinderella's kindness, despite her difficult situation, leads to her getting a magical transformation and a happy ending. It's like a fairytale - like justice that has a touch of humor as it goes against the harsh reality she initially faced.
Once, during a church service, the pastor was preaching about Noah's Ark. A little boy in the front row suddenly stood up and asked very loudly, 'Pastor, did Noah have to shovel all the poop?' Everyone burst out laughing.
Well, in my church family, there was this one family. They were always very punctual for services. One day, they got their days mixed up and showed up at the church on a Tuesday thinking it was Sunday. They were so embarrassed when they realized their mistake, but it became a running joke in the church community.
Sure. Harry Caray had a habit of mispronouncing players' names in the most hilarious ways. For example, he once called a player with a fairly simple name but added an extra syllable out of nowhere. The player was bemused, and the fans couldn't stop laughing. It became a running joke among the fans for the rest of the season.
Sure. There is a story about a magician who was walking down the street and turned into a grocery store. Another one is about a man who thought his wife was losing her hearing, so he stood behind her and said 'I love you' quietly. She didn't respond. He moved closer and said it louder. Still no response. Finally, he shouted it right next to her ear, and she turned around and said 'For the third time, yes, I would love to!'.
Once in a small town church, two old ladies got into a fight over who would sit in the front pew. One lady had been sitting there for years, but the other claimed it was her turn as she had just donated new hymnals. They started pulling at each other's shawls and arguing loudly, completely disrupting the pre - service calm. It was quite a sight, with the pastor trying hard not to laugh as he separated them.
Sure. One Easter Sunday, the priest was handing out small Easter baskets to the children. When he got to a little girl, he accidentally tripped and the basket went flying into the air. The candies and small toys scattered all over the pew. The little girl started giggling and then the whole row of children joined in. The priest, with a big smile, just said 'Happy Easter' and started picking things up.
