Funny stories in the field guide

A funny story could be a guy who used a field guide to identify a 'rare' bug. He was so proud and called all his friends over. But when an expert came, they told him it was just a common beetle with a weird marking. He had misread the field guide completely. It was quite embarrassing but also really funny.

Yes, there were a few. There were some stories about how medical teams tried to communicate with Ebola patients who didn't speak the same language. They had to use a lot of gestures and creative ways to explain medical procedures. One time, a doctor was trying to show a patient how to take a particular medicine and ended up mimicking a very strange animal to get the patient's attention. It was a bit of a comical situation, but it also shows the challenges and the ingenuity of the medical teams in the face of Ebola.

One simple way to fill in the blanks in funny stories is to think about what would be the most unexpected or humorous. For example, if the story is about a clumsy magician and there's a blank after 'The magician tripped over his ______', a funny answer could be 'own rabbit'. This adds an element of surprise as usually, a magician's rabbit is part of the act, not something to trip over.

There was a guide at a museum. He was showing a group of kids an old painting. He started to make up a really funny story about how the painter painted it while chasing a runaway chicken. He mimicked the painter running around with a paintbrush, which had the kids laughing non - stop.

Sure. There was a time when a new worker on the oil field thought the drilling rig was like a big, noisy toy. He was so excited that he accidentally pressed all the wrong buttons during a safety drill, which sent the whole crew into a fit of laughter instead of panic.

Well, in a football match, a goalkeeper once tried to do a fancy kick to clear the ball instead of just catching it. But he miscalculated and kicked the ball into his own net. It was a total fail and his team lost the game because of that one mistake.

Well, there was this hunter who was trying to track a deer. But instead, he followed the wrong tracks and ended up in a field full of cows. He was so confused at first, thinking he had found some strange new kind of deer. It took him a while to realize his mistake and when he did, he couldn't stop laughing at himself. The cows just stared at him as if he was an alien.

Yes. A gynecologist I know always wears a glittery stethoscope. One time, a young patient was really shy. But when she saw the stethoscope, she started to giggle. It broke the ice and they had a great conversation during the examination.

In Rome, a tour guide was showing a group around the Colosseum. He was very passionate about the history but he had a bit of an accent. He accidentally mispronounced 'gladiator' as 'glad - eat - or'. The group found it so endearing and funny that they started using that term among themselves for the rest of the tour. It became like a private joke for the whole group.

There was a tour guide in a safari park. He was explaining about different animals when a monkey snatched his hat right off his head. Instead of getting mad, he made it into a joke. He told the tourists that the monkey was the new 'hat inspector' of the park and was just checking if his hat was safari - worthy. Everyone had a good laugh.
