What is the funniest thing that ever happened to you?

I was doing online dating at the time. I made a date with an old classmate of mine (from elementary school days).
So now we're in our 50s.

We arranged to meet at a local restaurant. I only knew what she looked like from a small online profile picture and she looked blonde to me.

So I'm nervous and I go into the restaurant and i see a blonde lady at the counter who perks up when she sees me and she comes over and I greet her with a light kiss and tell her she looks great and hasn't changed much in the many years. She says, "I do?" "I haven't?" and she looks like she's trying to figure out who I am.

After a pause I say, "You're not the date I'm supposed to meet here, are you?" She says "no, I'm not" So I asked who she was and she said, "I'm the hostess. I'm here to seat you." I apologized and explained I had plans to meet a date here. She said, I did make her day though.
 
At a wedding, there was this singer. He was singing the "Please release me, let me go" song. He was trying with every fiber in him to really belt out this song, "Please release me, let me go". He was dressed in a jet black tux, and when he came to the verse, "Please release me, let me go", he would arch his back as far as he could. Problem was his fly was unzipped, so when he sang, arched back, "Please release me, let me go", his tighty whities showed.
 
This is strange not funny, at all, but its the story that comes to mind.

A neighbor asked us to watch their dog for the weekend, our dogs were friends. We left the dogs together in the neighbor's fenced back yard, but they managed to dig under the fence and escape.

Our dog came home, no problem but not the neighbor's dog. We set off on a desperate search to no avail. We went back to the neighbor's house and saw a message on their recorded. We listened to it and someone had found the dog and called the number on the collar. We called back - it was a strained conversation, but we got an address and headed to pick the dog up.

This is where the story turns very dark... The people who had picked up the dog were a Vietnamese family, only about half spoke any English. Earlier that day they had been on the way to Yellowstone for a large family outing. One van full of family members was involved in an awful crash, several were killed. We latter found out it was the worst one car traffic accident in Idaho history. Among the dead was a 3 year old boy, and his grandmother was convinced that the dog was her grandson reincarnated...

I had not idea what to do, to be honest had it been my dog I would gladly have given it to her, but it wasn't. And a few of the younger family members wanted us to just take the dog and leave. We spent probably the most uncomfortable half hour I can remember talking with the people and offering condolences. The grandmother was very convinced, she kept saying things like her grandson's favorite color was black and the dog was black, and the dog loved her grandson's favorite food. She was hanging on to that dog with all she had, and I was not about to take it away. Finally she said the dog should choose, and just as she let go our dog out in the truck barked and the dog bolted for the truck. Then one of the family members suggested we should just leave we gladly did...

I sent flowers and a letter of condolence, but never heard from them again. I still have real mixed feelings whenever I think of it.

When our neighbors returned we had quite the story to tell them. They never asked us to watch the dog again...

I'm not sure if this funny or mean. When I was seven or eight, I had a next door neighbor named Jane that I couldn't stand. She thought she was better than everybody and was a spoiled brat. According to her, she had prettier dresses, richer parents, better toys, etc. We had to walk to school together and one day a bird flew over and pooped a big white blob right on her head! She put her hand up to her hair and got gooey white stuff all over it. She screamed and started crying, running all the way home. I remember being speechless for a second and then came the laughter...a lot of laughter. I didn't know the word "karma" back then, but it fits.

Maybe I am being mean, but I still want to giggle a little when I think about it! :giggle: (I'm terrible, I know.)
 
My husband and I went shopping one day to get some groceries at the super store. We were walking together down an isle and I stopped to read the ingredients list on an item . There was an ingredient that I was unsure about so I rambled on about it as we continued to walk down the isle. My husband had nothing to say about it and went directly to the freezer. After rambling on about the questionable ingredients list with no input from him, I stopped and said “Ok I’ll stop talking then.” Some strange man turned around and looked at me with the biggest smile on his face and said “ And I just thought I’d met the women of my dreams.” 😝

( not the funniest thing but still funny )

Lots of funny things have happened. This one is kinda funny, kinda sweet and kinda sad.
Hubby and I were at WallyWorld just before Christmas (several years ago bc - before cancer). We were just going around the aisles and this little boy started screaming "Santa! Santa! You can guess what hubby looks like. :) His mother tried her best to beat the land speed record in a shopping cart to get out of our range. He was still screaming it for quite a while. I felt bad cause he wasn't allowed to get close and I know he was disappointed. It was sweet and funny that he thought hubby was Santa Claus.
