There was a time when Mozart was composing for a particular opera. He made some of the characters' arias so full of humorous twists and turns in the melody. It was as if the characters were singing in a comical way. For example, the high - pitched notes that came out of nowhere in an aria for a bumbling character made it seem like the character was tripping over his own words, which was a very funny touch to his composition.
Sure. There's a story about a church where they were having a nativity play. The little boy playing the donkey got so excited that he started running around the stage instead of walking calmly behind Mary and Joseph, making the whole play a lot more chaotic and hilarious.
Sure. There's the story of a pilot who was flying low over a field and saw a farmer waving at him frantically. Thinking the farmer was just being friendly, he waved back. But it turned out the farmer was trying to tell him that his landing gear was down and about to get damaged by the crops. Luckily, he managed to pull up in time.
Sure. Justin Wilson once attempted to fix his old car. He thought he knew what he was doing but ended up getting grease all over his face and clothes. When his neighbor asked what happened, he just shrugged and said 'I'm just giving the car a new look - the greased up style'. His non -chalant attitude made it a really funny story.
Sure. One story that always gets a laugh is about Phil Mickelson's encounter with a particularly difficult hole. He was having a bit of a tough time with it and after several attempts, he still hadn't managed to get the ball in the right position. So, he decided to try something completely different. He started using his putter for a shot that was normally not done with a putter. His creativity and the comical way he went about it made it a really funny story. And of course, his reaction when it didn't quite work out as he hoped was also very entertaining.
Sure. Take the story of Cinderella. The moral could be seen as 'kindness will be rewarded'. It's funny in the sense that Cinderella's kindness, despite her difficult situation, leads to her getting a magical transformation and a happy ending. It's like a fairytale - like justice that has a touch of humor as it goes against the harsh reality she initially faced.
Sure. Harry Caray had a habit of mispronouncing players' names in the most hilarious ways. For example, he once called a player with a fairly simple name but added an extra syllable out of nowhere. The player was bemused, and the fans couldn't stop laughing. It became a running joke among the fans for the rest of the season.
Sure. There is a story about a magician who was walking down the street and turned into a grocery store. Another one is about a man who thought his wife was losing her hearing, so he stood behind her and said 'I love you' quietly. She didn't respond. He moved closer and said it louder. Still no response. Finally, he shouted it right next to her ear, and she turned around and said 'For the third time, yes, I would love to!'.
The origin of bubble wrap is quite funny. It was originally designed to be a new type of wallpaper. The inventors thought that the little air - filled bubbles would make for an interesting and textured wallpaper. But it was a total flop as wallpaper. However, someone soon discovered that it was great for protecting fragile items during shipping. So bubble wrap went from a failed wallpaper idea to an essential packaging material, which is really a humorous turn of events.
Sure. There's a story about a group of New Mexico kids who tried to build a 'rocket' out of old car parts. They thought they could reach the moon but instead, it just made a lot of noise and smoke in their backyard. Another story might be about a local artist who painted his donkey purple by mistake and then the donkey ran through the town causing quite a stir.
Yes. There is a story about her encounter with a group of tourists. The tourists didn't recognize her at first and were chatting away casually. When they finally realized who she was, they were quite flustered. But the Queen just smiled and made a little joke about how she could be incognito sometimes. It was a very light - hearted moment.
