I heard about a bank manager who tried to promote a new savings account by dressing up as a superhero. He was running around the bank, handing out flyers and trying to convince customers to save more. It was really comical, especially seeing the customers' reactions, some were amused, some were just plain confused.
I heard of a situation in an investment bank where a group of bankers were having a serious discussion about a merger. Out of nowhere, a junior banker's phone rang with a really goofy ringtone. It was a cartoon theme song. The whole serious mood was shattered and everyone had a good laugh. And it actually made the rest of the meeting a bit more relaxed.
I heard about an investment banker who went to a meeting in a different city. He got lost on his way to the meeting venue and ended up arriving an hour late. To make it worse, he had his tie on backwards. But the client was so amused by his disheveled state that they actually listened more intently to his pitch.
There was a story of an IT team that was migrating data. They accidentally moved all the old photos from the company's archive to the CEO's personal folder. The CEO was quite surprised when he opened his folder and saw all those old memories. It made for a very funny situation.
One funny story is about a convict who painted his face to look like a zebra thinking it would help him blend into the prison yard. But all it did was make him stand out even more and become the laughingstock of the prison.
I heard about a barista who tried to create a new coffee art design. He was so focused on making it perfect that he didn't notice the customer had already left. He ended up with a beautiful design but no one to admire it.
One story I heard was about a player who was trying to build a house in a really hilly area. He kept getting the foundation wrong because of the uneven ground. After hours of trying, he finally managed to build it, but it was slanting so much that it looked like it was about to topple over any second. It was really funny to see.
At a Halloween party, a man came dressed as a mummy. He had wrapped himself so tightly in toilet paper that he could hardly move. When he tried to dance, he just wiggled in one place. And then he accidentally knocked over a bowl of punch. The punch spilled all over his 'mummy' wrappings and made him look like he had been in a really messy accident. It was a very funny sight.
One story is about a rugby team that accidentally showed up at the wrong field for a game. They were all ready to play and warming up when they realized it wasn't their venue. They had to quickly rush to the correct place, all looking a bit silly.
A scout group was doing a night - time navigation exercise. One scout was so confident that he took a 'shortcut' which led him straight into a muddy pond. He emerged all muddy and looking like a swamp monster, and his friends couldn't stop laughing.
I heard of a patient who started making chemo - related memes during his treatment and shared them with the other patients. They were things like a picture of a chemo bag with the caption 'My new sidekick for the fight'. Everyone thought they were hilarious.
