Well, sometimes animals other than deer can cause a ruckus during deer hunting. There was a time when a hunter was waiting for a deer and a group of squirrels started chasing each other around him. They were making so much noise that any deer in the area would have been scared away long before. And then there are those times when hunters get lost in the forest while trying to track a deer. They end up in the wrong part of the woods and come back empty - handed but with a funny story to tell about their misadventure.
Funny things can also happen with communication among hunters. For instance, two hunters might be signaling to each other about a deer's location. But one misinterprets the signal and ends up walking right in front of the deer, scaring it off. Or a hunter might be trying to be really quiet and then accidentally sneeze really loudly just as a deer is about to come into view. This always makes for a hilarious deer hunting story.
One funny thing is when hunters misjudge the distance. For example, they might think a deer is really close and take a shot, only to find out it was much farther away. So they end up scaring the deer off without any chance of hitting it. Another is when their equipment fails in a humorous way. Like a hunter's binoculars falling apart just as he is about to get a clear view of a deer.
Sometimes, deer can be really smart. There was a story where a deer led a hunter on a wild goose chase. It would run a little, stop, look back at the hunter, and then run again in a different direction. The hunter ended up completely lost in the woods while the deer got away, and that's a funny yet frustrating story for the hunter.
A funny thing that often occurs is when relatives start to tell old, embarrassing stories about each other during Thanksgiving dinner. For example, the time when Uncle Bob fell asleep in the mashed potatoes when he was really tired after a long journey. And everyone has a good laugh about it. Thanksgiving is also a time when pets can create funny situations. There was a cat that once jumped onto the table and stole a piece of turkey right from under everyone's nose, causing a lot of chaos and laughter.
In a radiography clinic, there was a little boy who was getting an X - ray of his leg. He was so curious that he asked if he could see his bones move when he wiggled his toes. The technician had to explain how it didn't work like that. His innocent questions made everyone laugh.
During Ramadan, there are often community events. At one such event, there was a fasting competition for kids. They had to see who could go the longest without complaining about being hungry. One little girl was so determined that she kept her mouth shut tight, but her eyes were getting bigger and bigger as she smelled the food being prepared for iftar. When she finally couldn't take it anymore, she let out a big 'I'm so hungry!' which made everyone laugh.
During Diwali, it's common for families to get together and play games. Sometimes, when playing card games, like rummy, a family member who is not very good at the game might accidentally mix up the rules and make everyone laugh. Also, when lighting crackers, there are times when a cracker goes off in the wrong direction, scaring the family pet, but then everyone ends up laughing at the pet's startled reaction. There are also those moments when people try to make the perfect rangoli but it turns out all wonky and they can't help but chuckle at their own attempt.
A funny thing could be when the wind blows away all the paper plates and everyone has to chase them. It's chaos but also really hilarious. Another is when someone tries to open a bottle of soda and it fizzes all over them like a soda fountain. They end up looking like they just took a soda bath.
Sometimes, the water temperature can change suddenly in the middle of a shower. It can be really startling. I had a situation where it went from warm to ice - cold in an instant. I jumped out of the shower so fast. It was both scary and funny in retrospect. And if you have a pet, like a cat, they might try to jump into the shower with you thinking it's some kind of new play area. That can lead to a lot of chaos and funny moments as you try to keep them from getting wet while also getting yourself clean.
During Thanksgiving, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade can also bring some humorous moments. Sometimes the big balloons might get a bit out of control. Like one year, a balloon animal got tangled up with a street sign and it looked like it was trying to have a conversation with the sign. And in the family gatherings, if there's a competitive game of football in the backyard, there are always those clumsy players who end up falling into the mud while trying to catch the ball, which is really hilarious.
Well, at one Pesach Seder, a dog managed to steal a piece of matzah right from under the table. It ran around the room with it, causing chaos and laughter. The family couldn't stop laughing as they chased the dog.
At one wedding, the wind blew the bride's veil right into the face of the best man just as the groom was about to say 'I do'. The best man was flailing around trying to get the veil off his face while everyone was laughing. It was quite a sight.
