I heard about a radiology department that had a prankster among the staff. They put a fake 'anomaly' in an old X - ray image and left it for a new intern to find. The intern was so confused and started looking up all kinds of rare diseases until someone told him it was a joke.
One interesting story is when an artist tried to claim his paintbrushes and canvases as business expenses for his 'hobby - turned - business'. The IRS was initially skeptical. After a lot of back - and - forth, it was determined that some of it could be claimed. It was funny how passionate the artist was about making his case.
I heard about a gang of cyclists. They were on a long ride and one of them got a flat tire. Instead of getting frustrated, they turned it into a 'flat tire Olympics'. They had races to see who could change the tire the fastest, with all kinds of silly rules. It was really funny to watch.
There was a lightning storm. A family's dog was so scared that it ran into the house and hid under the dining table. But then the power went out. The dog thought it was safe now and started running around in the dark. When the power came back on suddenly, the dog was so startled that it jumped onto the sofa and then slipped off the other side. It was a chaotic but funny scene during that storm.
A man once tried to teach his parrot to say 'hello' but the parrot learned to say 'goodbye' instead. And whenever someone came to visit, the parrot would keep saying 'goodbye' in a really loud voice. It was a strange but funny situation. This went on for weeks until the man finally gave up and just accepted that his parrot was a bit of an oddball.
One of the funniest flu stories was from a family. The dad had the flu and was trying to make himself some soup. But because he was so dizzy, he put salt instead of sugar in his coffee. And then he wondered why his coffee tasted so strange. When he realized his mistake, he just laughed it off. These kinds of stories show that even when we're sick with the flu, we can have some really comical moments.
One funny story I heard was about a commuter who brought his pet parrot on the bus. The parrot started imitating the bus driver's announcements, and it was so accurate that people thought there was something wrong with the bus's speaker system at first. It caused quite a stir and a lot of laughter.
I heard of a museum of oddities where they had a two - headed calf preserved. One day, a couple came in. The woman was very pregnant. She looked at the two - headed calf and jokingly said to her husband, 'I hope our baby doesn't come out like that!' and they both burst out laughing. The other visitors nearby also found it really amusing.
I heard a story where someone had insomnia and they started to make shadow puppets on the wall. They made up a whole adventure for their shadow characters. They were pirates sailing across the ocean (the wall). It was a really creative way to deal with not being able to sleep. They said it was so engaging that they almost forgot they were supposed to be sleeping. And when they finally did get sleepy, they had this great story to remember.
One professor was giving a lecture on history. He got so carried away that he walked right into a podium that had been moved slightly. He tripped and fell, but quickly got up and said, 'Well, that's one way to show you how unexpected events can change history!'.
I heard about a hostel where a guy thought the bunk beds were so high that he could practice his climbing skills on them. He climbed up and then got scared to come down. He had to be rescued by his roommates. It was hilarious.
