My father - in - law loves to barbecue. One day, he was grilling some burgers and got distracted by a neighbor's dog. When he turned back, the burgers were almost burnt. He served them anyway and said they were 'extra crispy' with a big grin on his face.
I know of a tradie who was supposed to be building a fence. He was so excited about a new power tool he had just bought that he started using it without really reading the instructions.

Once, a young guy was stopped and he had painted his car to look like a giant banana. When the officer asked why, he said he was promoting a new smoothie place.

At a law school party, a group of students were playing a game where they had to recite a legal principle if they lost a turn.

My neighbor and her boyfriend had a funny moment. They were at a concert. The boyfriend was so into the music that he started dancing like nobody was watching.

Here's another joke. What's a gardener's favorite type of movie? A plant - based thriller! It combines the idea of plants which are central to gardening with the genre of thriller movies in a humorous way.
There was this one time when a co - worker was wearing high heels. She was walking really fast to catch up with someone, and she stepped on a loose tile. Her heel got stuck, and she ended up doing a really awkward dance - like movement to try and free it. Another funny accident was when a guy was using a photocopier. He had a long tie on, and it got caught in the copier's rollers. As he tried to pull it out, he accidentally knocked over the entire copier. Then, there was a woman who thought the office microwave was done beeping, but it wasn't. When she opened it, a big puff of steam came out and made her scream in surprise.
My friend once had a squirrel get into their attic. It made so much noise that they thought it was a burglar. They called the police.

The whole situation was quite funny especially when the police were looking all serious for an intruder that didn't exist.
