I know a story about a manta ray that liked to follow boats. It would swim right under the boats and do flips, as if it was showing off. The passengers on the boat were always amused by its antics. Manta rays are usually so graceful, but this one had a real sense of playfulness that made it a really funny sight.
There's a story of a mermaid statue in a harbor. Some seagulls thought it was a real mermaid and would perch on it all day. They seemed to be waiting for it to move or do something. It was really hilarious.
In a military drill, a Royal Marine was supposed to be stealthily approaching an 'enemy' position. However, he didn't notice a small ditch and tumbled right into it, making a rather loud noise. His attempt to quickly get out and continue the mission in a stealthy way was so clumsy that it became a hilarious story shared among the troops.
Well, there was a recruit who was given the task of cleaning the rifles. He accidentally sprayed the cleaning solution all over himself instead of on the rifle. He smelled like a chemical factory for the rest of the day. It was quite a sight.
I heard about a Marine who was so tired during a long march that he started marching in his sleep. His buddies had to guide him to keep him from walking into bushes or tripping over things. It was hilarious to watch.
In a barracks, a marine decided to play a prank on his roommate. He put a fake snake in his bed. When the roommate saw it, he jumped so high and screamed. The whole barracks had a great time laughing about it later. Marines like to have some light - hearted fun among themselves. And this kind of prank is quite common. They know how to keep the mood lively even in the tough military environment.
One funny story is about a man who misread his life insurance policy. He thought it covered him if he lost his hair due to stress. So when he started balding, he tried to claim. The insurance company had to explain that it wasn't a covered event. He was so disappointed and his friends couldn't stop laughing at his misunderstanding.
A really funny real - life Dilbert story I heard was about the office dress code. There was a company that had a very strict dress code, but the management never really enforced it properly. So you had Dilbert - like employees showing up in all kinds of outfits. One guy came in wearing a Hawaiian shirt and flip - flops on a 'business casual' day when the definition of that was really unclear. It was hilarious to see the managers' reactions.
There was a captain who had a parrot on his ship. The parrot would mimic the captain's orders. One day, when the captain shouted 'All hands on deck!', the parrot repeated it so many times that all the sailors were running around in circles not knowing which 'order' was the real one. It led to a lot of chaos and laughter on the ship.
A man went to the dentist with a toothache. When the dentist checked, he found a small piece of popcorn kernel stuck between his teeth for weeks. The man had no idea how it got there. It was really funny.
I heard of a snowman that was built near a pond. A duck came along and thought the snowman was a new kind of strange 'creature'. The duck waddled around the snowman quacking in confusion, which was quite hilarious.
