A friend of mine once told me that during an Oxbridge interview, they were asked to describe a complex scientific concept using only gestures. My friend ended up making such comical and over - the - top gestures that the interviewers couldn't stop smiling. Despite the silliness, my friend managed to convey the concept quite well and got a positive response.

One story I heard was that a candidate was asked about the number of grains of sand on a beach. Instead of panicking, the candidate humorously replied that it was the same number as the stars in the sky that the interviewer couldn't count either. And they both had a good laugh.

Well, I know a story where an applicant was asked to prove that they could think on their feet. The interviewer threw a random object, like a pen, at them and said, 'Tell me five things about this pen in 30 seconds.' The applicant quickly said things like 'It's cylindrical, it has a clip, it's blue, it can write, and it's lightweight'. The spontaneity of the situation made it really funny.

A group of friends launched a crowdfunding for a 'giant inflatable hamster wheel for humans'. They claimed it would be a new form of exercise and entertainment. The images and videos they used to promote it were so comical. People couldn't resist sharing it and contributing, not because they actually thought it would be a huge success, but because it was such a crazy and funny concept.

There was a ratchet in a mechanic's shop. It was a small, old - fashioned one. A young apprentice was using it for the first time. He didn't quite understand how it worked and ended up tightening a bolt so much that when he tried to loosen it again with the ratchet, the bolt just spun around and around. The ratchet made these comical clicking sounds as he struggled, and the other mechanics couldn't stop laughing at his confusion.

Once, my friend tried to take a snap of her new haircut. But just as she clicked, her cat jumped on her head and made the funniest face. It looked like the cat was also showing off the new 'do'! Another time, a guy was trying to do a cool skateboarding snap. He fell mid - trick but managed to capture his shocked face as he hit the ground. Hilarious!

There was this new barista who was trying to be super fast. A customer ordered a simple black coffee. The barista got so flustered that instead of putting the coffee in a normal cup, he put it in a tiny espresso cup. When he realized his mistake, he sheepishly said, 'Well, this is a very concentrated black coffee for you today!' The customer couldn't stop laughing.

One funny Shadowrun story is about a decker who thought he could hack into a high - security corporate mainframe easily. He managed to get past the first few security layers but then accidentally triggered a virus that made all the office printers in the building print out pictures of his own face. It was hilarious as employees were confused and the corporate security was in chaos trying to figure out what was going on.
