During a certain pilgrimage in the Middle Ages, a pilgrim tried to bring his pet donkey with him. The donkey, however, had a mind of its own. It would stop at every tavern they passed, thinking it was a resting place. The pilgrim had to drag the donkey away each time, much to the laughter of onlookers.
Well, in some historical pilgrimages, pilgrims would often misread the maps. There was a group that thought a large puddle was a holy pool and they all jumped in, getting completely muddy. It was quite a sight.
Some pilgrims in old times would carry so many unnecessary items. One pilgrim thought he needed a full set of cooking utensils to make proper offerings at the end of his journey. But along the way, all those utensils just made his journey cumbersome. He would often trip over them, creating a very funny scene.
A lot of people started cooking new and strange recipes while stuck at home. My friend tried to make a super - complicated French dish but ended up with something that looked like a science experiment gone wrong. It was so funny to see the final result.
I remember a Christmas party where we played a game of musical chairs. The music was all Christmas tunes. There was this one guy who was so determined to win that he accidentally sat on another person's lap when the music stopped. It was really funny and had everyone in stitches.
I heard about a store where during an earthquake, all the teddy bears on the shelves fell over. They ended up looking like they were having a big party on the floor. The store owner later said it was a strange but kind of hilarious sight in the middle of all the chaos. The customers who came in later also had a chuckle when they saw it.
There was a haunted house where people often reported seeing strange lights. One day, a couple went in to investigate. They were all set for a spooky encounter. But it turned out that the 'strange lights' were just the reflection of a neighbor's disco ball from their party. The couple couldn't stop laughing at how silly they were to be so freaked out by something so ordinary.
At Myrtle Beach, I saw a dog chasing its own tail in the sand. It was so cute and funny. The dog just kept going round and round, not realizing it was chasing itself.
During a blackout in my apartment building, everyone in the hallway started singing old songs together. There were all different voices and levels of singing ability, but it created this really warm and funny community feeling. We ended up having a mini concert right there in the dark hallway. Some people even did some really goofy dance moves as they sang. It was a great memory from that blackout.
I heard of a Memorial Day barbecue where the grill caught on fire. But instead of panicking, the host just calmly grabbed a bucket of water and doused the flames, then joked that it was a'special effect' for the day. Everyone had a good laugh.
A funny thing that happened at a bridal shower I attended was the gift - opening. The bride opened a present that was a set of very frilly and lacy lingerie. Her grandmother was there, and when she saw it, she said in a very loud voice, 'Back in my day, we just wore plain cotton!' Everyone in the room started giggling. It was a really awkward yet hilarious moment.
Once at a Xmas party, there was a mistletoe in the middle of the room. This one shy guy kept avoiding it all night. But then, when he finally walked under it accidentally, everyone cheered and pushed him towards a girl he liked. His face turned bright red and he stuttered, which was really funny.
A tornado hit a small town with a fairground. The tornado managed to pick up a whole carousel and move it a few feet to the side without damaging it much. The horses on the carousel were all facing in different directions as if they had been on a wild ride. The locals found this really funny and it became a talking point for a long time. The carousel had always been a centerpiece of the town, and this strange event just added to its charm in a rather comical way. People were amazed at how the tornado could be so destructive in some ways and yet so oddly gentle with the carousel.
