Tell me a funny story please.

I’ll start us off shall I? My father was relating this to me yesterday.

My dad works on films in sound. Everyone in the sound department are on headsets so they can hear what’s going on between takes and when filming (this becomes relevant to the story later).

One of the more uncomfortable jobs for the guys is putting radio mics on the actresses, I’m not sure how much you know about radio mikes but they have to go under your clothes and stay hidden but with air space around the mic so you don’t get rubbing noises interfering with the dialogue. One of the best places for radio mics is cleavage. The more the better.

As professional as you can be some woman still get uncomfortable with the boys around that area so my dad and his colleague have recruited this girl from the wardrobe department to help with fitting radio mics and she has learnt quite a bit. She was fitting an actress who was doing a bit part and had rather large, erm, tracks of land.

This girl starts fitting the mic then looks down at this woman’s boobs and declares quite innocently “WOW! Great cleavage! The sound department are going to LOVE your tits!”

Of course the sound department heard all this over the headsets and nearly pissed themselves laughing while thinking any professionalism they had earned was out the window.

Your turn :slight_smile:

This thread is chock-full of funny stories.

Take a peek. I’m sure you’ll find a few that tickle your funny bone.

How about the story about the moron who walked through a screen door and strained himself

During my college days on of our Communications classes was taking a tour of the university’s motion picture studio. As we were watching the crew go about there work, one of the sound guys was positioning some microphones around the set. The instructor pointed this out, and made the observation, “Sound technicians are very quiet.”

One of the class piped up, “Does that mean lighting techs aren’t very bright?”
