One funny story is about a choir that was supposed to sing a very solemn song. But one of the sopranos accidentally let out a really loud sneeze right in the middle of a long, quiet note. It completely changed the mood for a second and everyone had to hold back their laughter. Then there was a choir that had a member who liked to do funny dance moves while singing. At first, it was distracting, but then it became a sort of tradition in the choir, and they would all smile whenever he started his little 'dance routine'.
In 2020, my local community organized a drive - by birthday parade for a 90 - year - old neighbor. The cars were all decorated with balloons and signs. But one car's balloons got loose and started flying all over the place. It was chaos but also really funny. It made the old man laugh a great deal.
One memorable one is about a man who left his beloved old hat to his parrot in his will. The parrot would then perch on the hat and cackle as if it knew it was now the owner of this special hat.
Well, there's a story where a person called 911 because their ice cream cone melted too fast. They were so distraught over losing their treat that they thought it was a major crisis. Another is when someone called because their cat was stuck on the roof, but the cat came down right as the firefighters arrived. It was hilarious.
Sure. Once in a choir, there was a singer who always got the lyrics wrong. Instead of singing 'hallelujah', he sang 'bananarama' every time. It made the whole choir burst into laughter during rehearsals.
A funny court story involves a patent case. A man claimed he had invented a 'self - tying shoelace' but when he demonstrated it in court, he tripped over his own shoelaces multiple times. It was clear his invention wasn't as good as he thought, and the court found it hilarious. This shows how sometimes people overestimate their inventions. And also how the court can be a place not just for serious judgment but also for some unexpected humor.
There was a time when an NYPD unit was doing a training exercise near a public park. A group of kids thought they were part of a show and started cheering them on. The officers, instead of getting annoyed, played along and did some funny stunts for the kids. It was really heartwarming and funny at the same time. They even let the kids try on their hats for a while.
I heard of a kid who was playing hide - and - seek with his friends. He hid in a really good spot but then he sneezed. His friends called out asking if anyone was there. Instead of staying quiet, he shouted 'Yes, it's me! I sneezed!' His friends all laughed at his honesty in the game. This simple story tells us that honesty can be found in the most innocent of situations and it often brings a touch of humor.
One memorable story is a charity basketball game where the players were all in silly costumes. They had giant shoes, tutus, and wigs. It was hilarious to watch them play, and it attracted a large crowd. The tickets sales and additional donations made a significant contribution to the charity.
There was this old TV at my grandparents' house. It had a dysfunction where the picture would roll up like a window blind every few minutes. We used to watch it and try to predict when it would happen next. It was really funny because it added an element of surprise to our TV - watching experience. And we had to constantly adjust it to be able to see the whole picture, which was quite an adventure.
In a fishing village, a lobster got loose on the dock. It chased a seagull that was trying to steal some fish scraps. The seagull was so startled that it flew away squawking while the lobster waddled after it for a bit. The whole thing was witnessed by the fishermen and they had a good laugh.
