Last Friday night, one of my friend's and I went to the movies, then out to dinner. My friend and I went to a locally-owned movie theater that had been around when my grandparents were my age. They are only open certain days of the week, and they only show certain recent movies, and only at certain times. We went to this theater because they were showing Twilight: Eclipse, and it's no longer at the regular movie theater. Anyway my friend and I were sitting in our seats, waiting for the previews to begin. This one guy in the group sitting in the aisle across from us, had his feet balanced on the seat part of the fold down seat in front of him. He must have been pressing all his weight against the seat, because suddenly the seat part popped off and fell onto the floor. My friend and I began laughing hysterically, and so did the other people around who saw what happened. What was funny about it was usually the seats in movie theaters are more sturdy for people of all sizes, but the guy managed to break it by putting his feet on it.  My friend and I were still laughing when the preview began playing, but toward the end of the previews we calmed down our laughter. Then the intro music for the movie started, but right after the music stopped, some person in the back of the theater burped really loudly, which made my friend and I start laughing again. I'm not sure if the person planned it like that or if it was an accident, but it was still funny. |

I was in the movie theater when "The Grudge" came out. Worst mistake I ever made... They may have been my age, but this group of idiots nearby wouldn't shut up the whole time. The whole group, constantly chattering. And heaven forbid something semi-scary would happen, they would all freak out and trying to listen to the next five minutes of the movie would be a waste of time. It all got interesting when one guy in the back got tired of it I suppose, because he literally shouted "STFU", loud enough for the whole block to hear. One of the smartasses out of the group, a local idiot from school, tried getting tough and wound up getting the boot. It didn't mean much in the end because the movie was almost over, but at least somebody told them what was what. As for the idiot that shot his mouth off, I saw him last week. He's put on about thirty pounds, has a trash girlfriend, and a misbehaving little kid screaming in the back of his beater car. Fitting.  |

People falling down stairs or out of chairs always strikes accord in humor. Its good this guy didn't appear to get hurt but that has to be embarrassing anyway.

fartinggurl, I think some of the hinged seats are just pressed in a certain way with no screws or bolts
sometimes its a sliding chanel and it pressure snaps into each side
the way they are set up its not likely the pressure would be towars the slot the tabs slide into but if it was it could slide out
some bleacher seats are like that if you line a tab up with an opening you can remove the seat to replace it or if they repad the seat thats how they take it off and put it back on
jersey life, I like your story too my dad says that when you hate someone and you wait patently you end up finding out theyre no better off that happened taht time too so its good news
i hated a kid all through grade school he was a scum a bully a nick name for richard and I dont mean ricky
he failed 7th grade though so hes not in my classes anymore and they put him in an extra diciplain group for homeroom and study hall

Yesterday I got home from work and started playing with my cat Taylor on my bed. She has a stick with feathers on one end and she likes me to wave it across my bed so she can chase it. She usually does a few back flips and lands on my pillow.Well last night I had got undressed and in my Jammie's but I neglected to put my bra away so it was on my bed. Taylor was doing the stick routine going back and forth on my bed when her foot got tangled in my bra strap on the bed. All of a sudden she totally freaked out and tried to shake off my bra from her foot. Then she jumped off my bed and took off running with my bra trailing behind her. I laughed and laughed. ;D

That can be said of most slapstick comedy. Human nature is just to laugh at other people falling down and being humiliated.

I remember a foul ball plugging an unprepared thirdbase coach right in the arm.
I also remember somebody standing on top of the dugout and dropping an egg right into our manager's coffee. They meant to drop it on his head but it landed in the cup instead.

My Dad has sent me into laugh spasms a lot. Here are two memorable ones. He poured himself a bowl of cereal with milk .Too early for him I guess, because he neglected to see the little black bugs that were swimming around in the milk. "Sh#! My Dad says" ;D When I owned my kennel he would buy johnny cat litter in bulk for me and deliver it through the back door of the kennel. One summer I had put one of those sticky fly traps on the back door and my dad backed right into it. It stuck to his hair! He is very girly about his hair. "Sh#! My Dad says" . ;D

The three Stooges will live forever. The pie in the face will probably never get old either.

The three Stooges will live forever. The pie in the face will probably never get old either. Oh Yeah! I could watch pie fights all day. "The Little Rascals" had a pie fight in one of their episodes when they were putting on Shakespeare for a class play. Some thugs that got kicked out got pies that they were selling in the lobby and hell broke loose. Classic pie fighting! |

Back at my old job, like a lot of businesses, they had double doors. One of the doors locked with two latches on the side of the door, and the other door locked by a turning mechanism on the inside. Whenever I worked during the evening, about 3 hours before closing time, I would lock the door with the two latches, leaving the other door unlocked. This was just an easier way to lock the door at night.
One night after I had locked the one door, one customer, who was just plain rude, after he had gotten his food, walked toward the locked door so quickly, he almost bounced off the door, he ran into it so hard. I laughed and laughed. He was rude to me and the girl I was working with for no reason, so he deserved it.

One time, after football practice, we were all heading down into the locker room. The floor that we had was a smooth, gray painted concrete. Now, many of the guys wore the spikes that have the little screw in cleats, that you replace when they get worn out. The other option was fitted cleats, which lasted much longer but didn't provide as much traction on the field. But those screw in plastic ones did pose a problem. They slid right out from under you on concrete if you weren't careful in how you walked. One guy slipped on the floor and nearly fell on his face. One of our bigger and heavier guys, who had always been a douche, stood there and laughed at him saying he had no idea how he didn't fall and bust it hard. Well, guess who proceeded to slip, fall, and bust it hard no less than five seconds later? You can't imagine what an entire locker room of guys laughing at you sounded like. I was one of them. That was good! |

There was a guy who messed with rookies sometimes. He would take a funnel and put in in the front of his pants, put a quarter on his forehead and drop the quarter into the funnel. He would challenge the rookies to attempt that but as soon as the funnel was in the pants he would pour a cup of water in the funnel.
I have mentioned Carlos a former teammate in various posts. Carlos told me about this guy and that prank and advised me to just say "No I don't think I can do that." I was never asked though. He got at least 3 people with that trick though.

Classic, your story reminded me of the time my dad pranked me with 'The Scary Maze' game years ago. The maze game, which is onling, starts out with you moving a tiny dot through a maze, and at the next level the maze gets harder. Then at another level, the maze is the size of the dot, and since you can't let the dot touch outside the maze, you start concentrating on getting through the maze. Then when you least expect it, a photo of Linda Blair from 'The Exorcist' pops up, along with an ear-splitting scream. I just love when I see videos of people getting scared by "The Scary Maze' game, or something similar. ;D |

I had a teammate miss about 3 weeks on account of a sore big toe. Well a lot of people jeered over that but a toe injury is pretty serious. If you've ever had a sore toe I mean really sore you'd be amazed how much it limits what you can do.
I rolled my ankle over my son's sand pail and missed about 14 days. I didn't admit I was running in the back yard and stepped on Jacob's sand pail, I let it be believed it was a base running mishap that actually happened but that wasn't what rolled my ankle. hahaha.

In its proper context only. This morning Jason had a roller hockey game. A kid got hit in the area guys really don't want hit.
Everybody laughs about that but that can actually be a very serious injury. It wasn't this time it was the usual drop the guy for a few minutes and after that he will be ok.
My uncle, or I should say mother's uncle who is 92 and still very with it still was among us this morning. He said 'I think he got hit at 18 an 19 Chestnut street.' I have never heard that term before.
