Can you recall some really funny but true Thanksgiving stories from your own experience or that you've heard?
My friend told me a story. Her family had a Thanksgiving tradition of each person saying what they were thankful for. Her little brother, who was about five at the time, said he was thankful for video games. Then he added that he was also thankful for the 'big chicken' (the turkey). Everyone found it hilarious. It was so innocent and cute. They still laugh about it every Thanksgiving.
I heard about a Thanksgiving where the host was so focused on making the perfect meal that they forgot to set the table. When the guests arrived, there were no plates, no silverware, and no glasses. They all had to scramble to get things set up while the food was getting cold. But it ended up being a really fun and chaotic Thanksgiving.
What are some really funny Thanksgiving Day stories from your experience or that you've heard?
I heard of a family that every Thanksgiving, their dog would steal the turkey leg right off the table when no one was looking. One year, they set up a hidden camera to catch the culprit. When they watched the footage later, they saw the dog not only take the leg but also try to drag the whole turkey under the table. It was so funny to see the dog's determination. They had to quickly cook another turkey leg for dinner.
What are some really funny Thanksgiving stories from your experience?
I heard of a family that invited their neighbors over for Thanksgiving. The neighbor's dog sneaked into the house and managed to steal the whole turkey right off the table while everyone was in the other room getting drinks. When they came back and saw the empty platter, they were shocked at first, but then they burst out laughing when they saw the dog outside with the turkey in its mouth. They ended up ordering Chinese food instead.
Funny Thanksgiving Disaster Stories from Your Own Experience
Our family had a Thanksgiving where we invited a lot of relatives. We had planned to seat everyone in the dining room, but we miscalculated the space. When everyone showed up, it was so crowded that some people had to sit on stools in the hallway just to be part of the dinner. And passing the food around was like a crazy obstacle course. It was a total disaster but made for some great memories.
Can you recall any funny Christian Easter stories from your own experience?
Well, I once saw at an Easter mass that a choir boy's robe got caught on a chair as he was walking up to sing. He tugged and tugged and finally just ripped it a bit to get free. He had a big red face but the congregation chuckled and it made the whole Easter service a bit more light - hearted.
What are some funny true Thanksgiving stories from your experience?
I heard of a family who always has a big dog. On Thanksgiving, the dog somehow got into the kitchen and stole the entire bowl of mashed potatoes. The family just watched in disbelief and then laughed as the dog ran around the yard with the bowl in its mouth.
Do you have any really funny true stories from your own experience?
Yes. I once went camping and set up my tent near a tree. In the middle of the night, I heard a strange noise. I was so scared that I grabbed my flashlight. When I shined it, I saw a raccoon trying to steal my food. It had opened my backpack and was rummaging through it. But when it saw me, it just stared and then slowly walked away. It was both scary and funny at the same time.
Can you recall any funny basketball coach stories from your experience?
One of my coaches was very superstitious. He always wore the same lucky hat during games. One game, the hat blew off his head during a windy day. He chased after it while the game was still going on. When he finally got it back, he put it on backwards and we ended up winning. He then claimed it was the hat's magic working in reverse that did it. His antics always made the whole team laugh.
Stuck in Cemetery Funny Story: Share Your Own Experience or One You've Heard
My friend told me that he was in a cemetery for a historical research project. He got so caught up in reading the inscriptions on the tombstones that he lost track of time. When he tried to leave, he couldn't find the exit. He walked around for a while until he saw a little cat. He decided to follow the cat, thinking it might lead him out. And it did! It was really funny how a cat saved him from being stuck in the cemetery.
Can you share a really funny race story from your own experience?
At a local running race, there was a woman who was running while listening to music. She was so into her music that she missed the turn sign and kept running straight. The marshals were shouting at her, but she didn't hear. By the time she realized, she had run quite a distance in the wrong direction. She was so embarrassed when she came back, but it was a really funny sight for the rest of us.

I remember when I was in high school. We had a talent show and one of the students decided to do a magic trick. But instead of making things disappear, he made a mess. He accidentally spilled all the cards and props all over the stage. It was a total chaos but also very funny.
