Okay, so no one was actually around to laugh at this, but…
I was brushing my teeth this morning, and felt the sudden and unavoidable urge to sneeze. So I put my head down in the sink to prevent myself from spraying toothpaste everywhere.
ACHOOO!.. BONK
I nail my forehead on the faucet. :rolleyes:
Do you have anything that’s funny to everyone except you?
There is this story that gets told every Holiday about me pooping my pants when I was 4 during a long road trip and how everybody almost suffocated in the car before a place could be found to clean me up. In some versions the windows couldn’t roll down, It gets told every Holiday get-together along with other stories and it always gets the biggest laugh.
How many holidays do we have a year? How many years have we been subjected to that story? It’s still funny to everybody…amazing. :rolleyes:
It’s funny to all except me.
sigh
Two things, both involving my legendary clumsiness.
Once my family was out at dinner and we were discussing whether or not various people were slobs (messy eaters, etc.). As I said “I’m not a slob”, I knocked over my glass of water. Haw haw haw, and this gets repeated all the time by my sister, except: BEING A SLOB AND BEING CLUMSY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER. And she will not see this. Argh. Everyone always laughs along and tells me I’m being oversensitive. Makes me want to break out some seriously embarrassing stories about my sister, but I’m not that mean.
As evidence of my clumsiness, everyone in my family will tell anybody who will listen the story of the time I tripped on the carpet and put an elbow through the wall. Except that I didn’t put an elbow through the wall. That was a lie I told them to cover up the fact that the hole actually got there when my foot connected with the drywall during a strange fit of anger. So now not only do I get falsely accused of damaging the house in improbable ways while tripping over myself, but I have to feel guilty. I suppose I deserve it, but it drives me up a wall. Makes everyone else laugh, though. Great, guys.
My little sister loves to tell this story – and she wasn’t even old enough to remember it when it happened!
Anyhow, when li’l sis was about a year and I was around 10, I loved to play Mommy. The age difference was so neat (then)! So, li’l sis had just finished a formula/cereal mixed bottle and was in a very good mood. I decide to lay on the floor with her, holding her above my head and waving her back and forth in the air. Go figure: she pukes. All over me, in my hair, but worst of all, in my mouth. :eek: Blech!
Funny to everyone but the one who ran gagging and crying to the shower.
There was the time that, at a party, I didn’t realize the sliding glass door was open while the vertical blinds were closed.
In short, 10 of my closest friends watched me just lean alllll the way back, falling through the blinds onto my back.
Yeah, that was pretty much funny to everyone except me.
At least I regained a fraction of my cool points my saving my drink.

Most slapstick “comedy”
My sister did the same thing to me! We were about the same ages, too–she was almost one and I was eleven. It was the 4th of July, and we were outside at the park sitting on a picnic blanket waiting for the fireworks. So no shower. I seem to have blocked the cleaning up from my memory, but it can’t have been pretty.
I find Agent Foxtrot’s story *very * funny.
When I come up with one of my own, I’ll be back. i just had to say that.
Not funny:
When I was very small, I used to…uh…touch myself inappropriately before falling asleep. My mom thinks it’s hilarious, and will tell *anyone * about it.
Take your pick, either the standup routines or the TeeVee show. Everybody thought he was the cat’s pajamas. I thought he was boring.
Start -that is a terrible story.
Shame on those folks for telling it again and again. Some things people should not be teased about.
I ahve a sibling story- I was born on my twin sister’s birthday. My mother had me induced so that we three would share the day. :rolleyes:
Every year, without fail, the story comes out about how when Mom brought me home from the hospital and presented me to them (and 2 other sibs, mind you)–their only response was:“send her back! We don’t want her!”
I have now heard this story 42 times. I did not find it funny the first time.
OH, I just figured this out. Labor was induced so you would have a birthday with the twin pair of your sisters. That’s not all that clear.
A friend a joke often told was funny to everyone except me. -
“What do you call a fly with no wings”
“a walk”
Harry Hill.
My husband. Everyone thinks he’s hilarious. Apparently no one else recognizes all his material from The Comedy Network.
Damn, that is a horrible joke. I mean I get it, but I don’t get how it could be funny.
I have never known how to say that. I have had people say that I must mean that we are triplets. Um, no.
They were born in 1958 on a day in July, and I was born on that same day in 1962. My mother was induced to start labor.
Is that clearer?
sorry.
