A funny thing that happened at a bridal shower I attended was the gift - opening. The bride opened a present that was a set of very frilly and lacy lingerie. Her grandmother was there, and when she saw it, she said in a very loud voice, 'Back in my day, we just wore plain cotton!' Everyone in the room started giggling. It was a really awkward yet hilarious moment.
I remember a Christmas party where we played a game of musical chairs. The music was all Christmas tunes. There was this one guy who was so determined to win that he accidentally sat on another person's lap when the music stopped. It was really funny and had everyone in stitches.
I heard of a Memorial Day barbecue where the grill caught on fire. But instead of panicking, the host just calmly grabbed a bucket of water and doused the flames, then joked that it was a'special effect' for the day. Everyone had a good laugh.
There was a haunted house where people often reported seeing strange lights. One day, a couple went in to investigate. They were all set for a spooky encounter. But it turned out that the 'strange lights' were just the reflection of a neighbor's disco ball from their party. The couple couldn't stop laughing at how silly they were to be so freaked out by something so ordinary.
During a blackout in my apartment building, everyone in the hallway started singing old songs together. There were all different voices and levels of singing ability, but it created this really warm and funny community feeling. We ended up having a mini concert right there in the dark hallway. Some people even did some really goofy dance moves as they sang. It was a great memory from that blackout.
I heard about a store where during an earthquake, all the teddy bears on the shelves fell over. They ended up looking like they were having a big party on the floor. The store owner later said it was a strange but kind of hilarious sight in the middle of all the chaos. The customers who came in later also had a chuckle when they saw it.
Once at a Xmas party, there was a mistletoe in the middle of the room. This one shy guy kept avoiding it all night. But then, when he finally walked under it accidentally, everyone cheered and pushed him towards a girl he liked. His face turned bright red and he stuttered, which was really funny.
Well, there was a guy on death row who was always trying to convince the guards that he was a long - lost relative of the governor. He would come up with the most outlandish stories about family reunions and shared inheritances. It was so absurd that it was funny.
There was a hotel with a really old - fashioned key system. A guest got drunk and thought the key was a magic wand. He was running around the hallways trying to 'cast spells' with it. The other guests were both confused and amused at the same time.
Well, in some old churches, there were tales of bells ringing on their own, which was thought to be a sign from the heavens but was probably just some wonky mechanism. And people would get all excited and superstitious about it.
