Sure. There was a guy who got a ticket for parking in a no - parking zone. In court, he said he parked there because a sign told him to. When the officer showed the real sign, it turned out the guy had misread a 'Tow Away Zone' sign as 'Park Here'. Everyone in the court had a good laugh.
There was this case where a man was ticketed for running a red light. In traffic court, he argued that he was color - blind and couldn't tell the difference between red and green. To prove it, he brought in some really strange - looking homemade color - blindness tests. The whole court was in stitches, but the judge still made him pay a reduced fine because he felt a bit sorry for him.
I've got a good one. There was a traffic jam because a family of ducks decided to cross the road. They waddled slowly in a line while all the cars patiently waited. And then there was a taxi driver who had his radio blasting really loud music and was dancing in his seat while waiting at a red light. It made everyone around him laugh.
Well, there was this time in traffic. A guy was driving a really old and noisy car. He was trying to overtake a line of cars very slowly. As he passed each car, his car made such strange sputtering noises that everyone was laughing. It was like his car was having a conversation with the other cars.
A man got a ticket for driving without his headlights on at night. In court, he said he thought his eyes were headlights and they were working just fine. The absurdity of his statement made the courtroom burst into laughter.
Sure. Once, I was in a traffic jam and there was a guy in the car next to me. He was so bored that he started doing a puppet show with his hands on the dashboard for the kids in the backseat of his car. It was really hilarious.
In one court story, a lawyer accidentally called the judge 'Mom' during a trial. He was so nervous and it took everyone by surprise. The judge just chuckled and told him to be more careful. It was really a funny moment in the serious court environment.
Sure. There was one time when a pilot radioed in to air traffic control and said his plane was being chased by a large bird. The controller replied, 'Is it a superbird? Do you need backup?' Another time, a controller accidentally told a pilot to land on the wrong runway, but quickly corrected himself. The pilot joked, 'You almost sent me to the wrong party!'
Well, I heard of a situation where a new air traffic controller was on duty. A very experienced pilot, just to tease the newbie, started speaking in a made - up language on the radio. The controller was panicking until the pilot finally broke into laughter and said he was just joking. It was quite an amusing incident for everyone in the control room.
There's this funny story about an Irish court case. A man was in court for public drunkenness. When the judge asked him why he was so drunk, he said he was celebrating finding a four - leaf clover. He then proceeded to pull out a handful of what he thought were four - leaf clovers but were actually just regular clover, which made everyone in the courtroom chuckle.
Sure. There was a case where a man sued his neighbor because a squirrel from the neighbor's yard kept stealing his birdseed. He presented pictures of the squirrel with a mouthful of seeds as evidence. Another one was a woman who sued a coffee shop because the latte art on her coffee looked more like a blob than a heart as advertised. And there was also a case where a man tried to sue the rain for ruining his new haircut when he got caught in a downpour on his way home from the barbershop.
Sure. One story is about a court stenographer who misheard a lawyer say 'objection' as 'abduction'. It led to a moment of total confusion in the courtroom until everyone realized the mistake and had a good laugh.
