My personal assistant once misinterpreted my command to play some 'relaxing music' as 'waxing music'. It started giving me information about hair removal salons. I couldn't stop laughing at how wrong it was.
Well, here's one. I was at a costume party. I decided to go as a mummy. I wrapped myself up in toilet paper at home, but when I got to the party, it started to rain a little. By the time I walked in, I was a soggy mess of half - falling - off toilet paper. It was hilarious.
Sure. Once I went to a costume party. I dressed up as a giant chicken. But when I was walking in, I tripped over my own big feet made of the costume and fell flat on my face right at the entrance. Everyone burst out laughing, including me.
Often, there are elements of self - deprecation. People are usually okay with making fun of themselves in a funny story. Embarrassment is also a big part. Think about how I was embarrassed when I spilled water on the person next to me. And then there's the element of the absurd. When I flew into the bush while skateboarding, that was quite absurd and made the story funny.
Sure. I once knew a personal trainer who had a client who was always getting distracted during workouts. One day, while doing squats, the client started chasing a butterfly that flew into the gym. The trainer just stood there, laughing so hard.
Last Christmas, I was in charge of making the Christmas pudding. I followed the recipe as best I could, but I accidentally added twice as much brandy as it called for. When we set it on fire for the traditional flaming pudding moment, it nearly set off the smoke alarm! The whole family was in stitches, and we still joke about my 'extra - boozy' pudding.
My grandma once mistook the Christmas ham for a cushion and sat on it. When she realized what she had done, we all burst out laughing. It was a hilarious moment and the ham was still salvageable.
One year, my family decided to have a 'Christmas in July' theme in December just for fun. We all wore Hawaiian shirts and set up the Christmas tree with beach-themed ornaments. It was so silly but made for a really memorable Christmas.
Sure. Once I was at a zoo and a monkey snatched my hat right off my head and started wearing it. It was so unexpected and hilarious. All the other visitors were laughing too as the monkey paraded around with my hat.
Last Halloween, I went to a haunted house with my friends. We were all really scared but trying to act brave. There was this one actor dressed as a zombie who chased us. My friend was so frightened that he ran into a wall. I was laughing so hard that I almost forgot the zombie was still coming after me. It was a hilarious and spooky experience all at once.
