Well, there's a story where the mother - in - law accidentally walked in on the couple during a rather amorous moment. But instead of getting all flustered, she just made a really quick joke about 'checking if the room was still in one piece' and left laughing, which made the couple laugh too later.
One memorable story was when a law student fell asleep during a really long and boring lecture. When the professor called on him to answer a question, he woke up and started reciting a completely different legal concept from another class. It was so funny seeing his confused face when he realized his mistake.
My mother - in - law is quite the character. Once, she went to a store to buy some new clothes. She tried on a very bright and colorful dress that was clearly made for a much younger person. When she came out of the fitting room, she did a little twirl and said 'I'm ready for the fashion show!' It was so funny seeing her so confident in that wild dress.
Another theme is the clash of personalities. If you have an overly strict mother - in - law and a laid - back son - in - law, there will be many situations that can be turned into funny stories. For instance, the mother - in - law might be horrified at the son - in - law's casual attitude towards household chores while the son - in - law finds her strictness absurd. This can create humorous incidents.
Well, here's another one. There was a father - in - law who was really into fishing. He took his son - in - law fishing for the first time. The son - in - law was not very good at it and kept getting his line tangled. The father - in - law found it hilarious and instead of getting annoyed, he told funny fishing stories all day long to make the son - in - law feel better.
Sure. My friend's mother - in - law once tried to bake a cake for her son's birthday. But she accidentally put salt instead of sugar. The look on everyone's face when they tasted it was hilarious.
There was a time when my father - in - law attempted to bake a cake for my mother - in - law's birthday. He had no idea what he was doing. He put salt instead of sugar in the batter. When it came out looking all wrong and tasting horrible, he said 'This is a new type of health cake - low - sugar, high - salt for a unique taste!'.
Sure. There was a case where a man sued his neighbor because the neighbor's rooster crowed too early every morning. The man claimed it was a noise nuisance. Another one is about a person who tried to patent the shape of a peanut. And there was also a case where a woman sued a dry cleaner for millions over a lost pair of pants, which seemed quite excessive considering the value of the pants.
In a certain city, there was a law that said you couldn't sing off - key in public. A tone - deaf singer decided to have some fun and sang loudly and off - key in the park. People around were both annoyed and amused. The police were called but they also found it hard not to laugh. They just asked him to stop and move on.
In some places, there was a law against wearing certain types of hats in public buildings. A man who was a bit of a joker deliberately wore a huge, comical hat into the courthouse. He was told to remove it and when he refused, he was escorted out. He later told everyone about it as a funny story of how he 'broke' the strange law.
