Don't tell me you've never done something funny. This silly thing happened to me today: We were to have fish fingers and french fries for lunch and I had to take them from the oven. Well, I was placing the cooking sheet on the pull-out cutting board but I had to tilt it a bit since I hadn't lowered the front panel. Of course the fish and fries slid off the sheet and since there is no back panel, into the lower box. There they were neatly on top of the butter knives and teaspoons... :) All I could do was laugh, but my parents didn't think it was funny at all. I had to wash the box after lunch.

Now tell me what you've done..

I made a really ridiculous scew-up the other day...I got into the kitchen and got myself a glass of juice, but was rather stressed because I wanted to see a certain TV program...so I looked at my armwatch, tilting the glass to the side and pouring all the juice on the floor...I don't know what I was thinking.

To make matters worse I missed the beginning of the TV program, since I had to dry up all the juice from the floor.

A college at my work (flower warehouse) once emptied 2 "buckets" which contained a lot of dirty water (it's actually called different but most pple dont know wot it means).
he hold on in his hand to empty first and the second one he had behind his back. As he emptied the 1st bucket, he bend over to let the water out and he forgot about the other bucket behind his back.
I can tell you this. It was a funny sight.. seeing a bucket with water being emptied by some one on his own back on head... :D :shock: :roll:

not a screw up made by me, but I still find it funny

This isn't about me but.... I had a friend who was kinda sleepy, but he wanted to wash the floor, then he took a bottle of green liquids and poured it onto the floor and took out a mop and mop with it. Then after a while he realised it was cordial....

Haha, i've done similar to Pirog, but it was involving cereal and myself, i was watching tv and I was kind of spilling my cereal all over me, but I never noticed until half of it was all on me.

And I have done/seen some other funny things..

My freind went down a hill on a trolley. Because the trolley hit the grass it started spinning around.. me and my mates were at the top of the hill wetting ourselves with laughter, as the guy in the trolley was screaming for us to help him. Another funny part was there was a road at the bottom of the hill, made it down the kirb all right but crashed into a parked car at the bottom and went flying across the bonnet.

Another one was, I know this boy, who wouldn't go on a roundabout, me and my mates usually went to the park for our lunch break, and we persuaded him to get on the roundabout, so he got on it, a few other people were on it, and as the roundabout was being pushed we all jumped of apart from this other boy who was the one who hated roundabouts, well.. as mates do, we pushed the roundabout faster and faster, whilst he was screaming.. 'Nah blad stop it, stop it' a few minutes later we stopped the roundabout, after he had recovered from the roundabout, he was pissed and squared up to one of my mates who's idea it was, (Being the pussy that he is) he picked up my mates bag, and literally threw it as hard as he could, and it landed in front of him, and then they squared off. HAHAHAAA!!

Another funny thing was running over a car. :lol: There was this green astra parked outside the owners house.. so i thought.. :twisted: .. why not, something new.. so I took a run up, ran towards it, jumped on the bonnet, then onto the roof, then dived off the end of the car, only to rip my trousers (Bummer), and see the owner come bombing it out of his house! That was quite scary so we ran, and ran, until we lost him.. and laughed like shit! :lol:

Also, the Aaron 'roundabout hater' barber, had an elastic band, and was randomly flicking paper pellets at passing cars, until the inevitable happened, it went in some mans window and hit him in his head.. (HAHAHA) So him being the unfit man that he is, sprinted (Going as fast as a normal persons walking pace) down an alley, the man in the car reversed up, whilst me and my other mate, Richard, we shouting "AARON" He then came back, walked a little close to the car, whilst the man was blasting him, and innocently said "Who, me?" Haha, what a wanker.

And another memorable moment at school, loads of people were behind the sports hall, as a teacher came round shouting at us to move away, she attempted to climb a maddy bank (Stupid) but fell down it, leaving lovely brown mud marks all over her.

I would tell more, but i can't be bothered, maybe later I will share.. :)

Me and my mates are crazy bitches!!

(sorry for sharing this with the world, just out of Cantr minutes and alot of spare time)

Oh man, time for some bragging rights. If you talk to me, you know that I make perverted and sexual jokes. I'm the same in real life...

...It was near the end of High School, graduation, mere months ago. Sitting out in the aisle with my buddies, we got talking about what we were to do when we stop seeing each other. Everyone said their things, but me being the comedian, I said "Oh, after Graduation, I'm calling Eric's girlfriend for some phone sex." - It was funny, and everyone laughed. I thought something was wrong when they began laughing harder. Then, I felt an odd tingling as I was kicked in the back of the head - Eric was behind me :)

Why did I make that joke anyway? Because it's who I am, and we make fun of his girlfriend anyway. Nothing against her, really. It's just... my friend Eric, any girl that would date -him- must have problems :P

My head STILL hurts :D

Nothing I've done is as funny as what one of the guys I worked with a few years ago did. It was in a seafood resturant, me and my buddies were all cooks, and my one friend was working the broilers and I was on the fryers. The broiled food went on small steel pans, the only thing that would survive the 450 degree broilers, and had to be pulled out with thongs. We had oven mits and such but they're a real pain in the butt for real work so we never used them and just opted for the thongs. Anyway, my buddy pulls out a grouper and sets it down on the counter while he reached over to grap a plate for it, putting the thongs down also. He sets the plate down and grabs the steel pan with his bare right hand, instantly raising a huge blister on the pad of his thumb and forefinger, he yelled "Oh, sh*t!" and promptly grabbed it again with his left hand...

Does it have to be our own screwups? If not, I have a nice one.

You all understand that when on board of a ship, you have to check where the aswind comes from before you throw something overboard? No the 2nd officer had a friend of his onboard. When we were sailing in a storm, she went sick. ofcourse she threw up on the windward side of the bridge, resulting not only her, but the whole deckhouse, funnel, lifeboat, etc getting covered in... puke. :) (the "windward incident is a common mistake on board, even made by veteran sailors, but you guy's should have seen the bridgedeck covered in puke. Priceless. :lol: ).

Pirog's story happened to me too. Long time ago at school, in chemistry class. I was holding a testtube filled with liquid (water)when someone asked me whatas time it was. Quite stupid, especially because only a few minutes before that the testtube was filled with acid. :shock:

Well once when I was a little younger this boy liked me. So he would play little tickle me games with me. Well, one day we were in the kitchen and everyone was in the living room and he started tickling me again. I was amused and played along by running from him. I ran into the living room in front of everyone. They were staring at me with there mouths dropped almost to the floor and I was like what, what, why are you guys staring at me like that. Then I happened to look down and I noticed the stupid boy had opened my blouse while we were playing without me knowing it. So there I was bra and half a breast exposed. My brothers were so shocked that the oldest grabed me by my arm and dragged me down the hall to where my mother was.

It took me years to live that one down.

I have pretty much come to the conclusion that I am a clutz. On a weekly basis, I stub toes, trip over stuff and drop things... always at work. Always in front of customers.... I work at PetsMart. a pet retail place with fish and birds and dogs and cats.


my favorite stupid clutz thing to do is to bag fish up for someone to take home, put the bag on the little compressed air nozzle to fill it up with oxygen and POP the bag. Dropping about 4 cups of water and 5 fish onto the floor. I am not the only clutz to do this... it happens about 3 times a month at our store because the damn nozzle is stronger then its supposed to be.

Little guppy fish flopping around on the floor gasping for air and the customer screams at me for killing their fish and my shirt and pants are soaked.... good image yes?

I would think so.

I have selective hearing.
