Well, there's the story of a dad who planned to sing a lullaby to the baby as soon as it was born. But when the baby arrived, he was so choked up that he couldn't get a single note out. Instead, he just made some really strange croaking noises. Another dad had this elaborate plan to cut the umbilical cord in a very ceremonious way. But when the moment came, he got so nervous that he almost dropped the scissors. And there was a dad who was so eager to hold the baby that he accidentally elbowed the nurse in the face as he reached for the newborn.
At my first construction job, I was given the task of carrying some tools to the site. I had no idea how heavy they were. As I picked up a large box of tools, I lost my balance and almost fell over. My supervisor saw it and came to help me. He told me that everyone makes mistakes when they start. We had a great conversation after that and it was a funny start to my work there.
A business traveler checked into a hotel and realized he had forgotten his tie. He called the front desk and asked if they could provide one. The front desk clerk rummaged through lost and found and found a very flamboyant, bright - colored tie. The guest was a bit hesitant at first but when he put it on, he couldn't help but laugh. He later said it was the most unique 'hotel - provided' item he had ever received and it actually made his day.
There was a woman who brought her pet parrot to Walmart. The parrot was squawking all kinds of things like 'hello' and 'pretty colors'. Everyone was amused and gathered around to see the parrot. It was quite a scene.
Sure. There was a situation where an Xcom engineer was trying to repair a piece of equipment during a battle. But in his haste, he accidentally activated a self - destruct sequence on a nearby vehicle. The panicked look on his face as he tried to figure out how to stop it was really funny. Luckily, another teammate with better tech skills managed to override it just in time.
Sure. There was this Dimir agent who was trying to be sneaky. He hid in a barrel but didn't realize it was full of fish. When the owner of the barrel opened it, the stench and the squirming fish along with the startled agent made for a really funny scene.
A Shadowrun group was infiltrating a high - rise building. The infiltrator, who was known for his stealth skills, managed to get into the elevator shaft. But as he was climbing up, his foot slipped and he started sliding down. He grabbed onto a cable to stop himself, but it set off an alarm. To cover up, the mage quickly cast an illusion spell to make it look like a janitor had accidentally hit the alarm while cleaning. The whole situation was quite funny and they managed to still complete their mission.
Sure. Once during a tour, a dog somehow made its way onto the stage during a Grateful Dead performance. The band members just laughed and continued playing while the dog ran around for a bit before being gently escorted off. It was really unexpected and added a touch of hilarity to the show.
My friend once told me about a man who was carrying a large, framed picture of himself. The frame was made of metal and it looked really odd on the X - ray. The security guards thought it might be some sort of hidden compartment or something. He had to take it out and explain that he was just bringing it to his new apartment overseas. It took quite a while to sort out.
Sure. There's a story where a Freemason was giving a speech during a special event at the lodge. He accidentally tripped on his own robe while walking up to the podium. Instead of getting flustered, he made a joke about how the lodge's floors were so shiny they were trying to make him fall. The whole place erupted in laughter and his speech went on smoothly after that.
Sure! Once, my cat chased its own tail for a whole five minutes. It was so confused and kept running in circles, and I couldn't stop laughing.
