The funniest thing you ever heard/saw -- who was behind it?

As I see it, Post #12 is a response to Post #10 – where I asked if the comment was about Natalie Wood.

My suspicion is that the thread went dormant (if not into true zombiedom) and that a vanity search brought this back to rucciface’s attention.

Other than that, I’d be curious, too.

beowulff resurrected the thread. It had been dormant for six months. His comment wasn’t inane IMO, so it could have even warranted a new thread. Plus it made Olivesmarch4th LOL. Bonus points.

First thing that came to mind. . .

On time we were tripping on mushrooms, and we were in someone’s apartment that we didn’t know very well.

Anyway, there was sort of “artsy” photo on the wall that was a black and white close-up of this black girl, and you could only see her forehead, and some of her dreadlocks.

I looked at the photo and asked, “why do you have a picture of a woodchuck chewing on a grapefruit?”

Multiple people, multiple minutes of very hard laughter. Not the funniest thing ever, but the mushrooms helped. They do that.

I stand corrected. I didn’t notice the post dates, obviously now.

In any case, it’s not like the posts in this thread are all that time-sensitive and I don’t see the harm in replying to an open question like the one in the OP. In other cases, zombies give a false sense of “continuity” with the posts, and questions get answered or responded to long after they were posed. But in this case I just don’t see the gravity.

I was at a house party several years ago that was populated entirely by my sister-in-law’s friends - - I really didn’t know a soul - - but they were fun and we got along fine. I was playing cards with some of them, two men and two women, but I was mostly keeping quiet because I didn’t know them too well and because they were discussing their lives in Boston.

Somehow the discussion turned towards something that one of the guys had seen in a strip club. Gradually he revealed, much to the digust of the women present, that there had been a banana eating contest at the club. The final contestant didn’t have a banana, but rather than ruin the grand finale, a man appeared on stage and lent his equipment to the cause.

The women, apparently Yankee feminists of some sort, really turned up their vitriol. They were railing against the sexism, the sex show, the treatment of women, etc., etc. One stammered: “It’s just wrong. I mean, what was that guy doing up there anyway?”

Without thinking about it, I said “Probably smiling.”

Pure silence reigned for about two full seconds, then we all burst out laughing so hard we almost fell off our chairs.

Sorry about the de-zombifaction. I thought I remembered a recent thread about this subject and went searching. This one popped up, and I read the date as 7-07 (instead of 2-07), so I thought this was the one…

Most recently, my husband hitting my best friends husband in the head with a golf ball at mini-putt on Saturday night :smiley:

All time…

When I was 12 we went to Disney World. There was an outdoor show with this man, dressed in a suit, with a sea lion, and he was doing schtick comedy. He ended up fumbling with some tea cups and the seal lion honked him in the groin. I was the only one laughing at the guy on stage…everyone else was laughing at me!!
