krisb Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Ok, I'll av a go. Watching the next door neighbour doing his stretching exercises before his 7am jog and the village kids emulating him. You had to be there but it was superb when they then all jogged off up the road. My family from Australia was there and cracked up laughing. Ahh, you had to be there. Amazing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costas2008 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Waking up one morning and seeing my neighbours outdoor sack on fire! I have complained to him 1000 times, lighting fires all hours during the day.....he ignored me. Karma!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post David48 Posted December 30, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2013 I was making breakfast and having a rare slice of toast. The young kid from next door, maybe 5 or 6 years old always hangs around. He's got no father figure, so I'm the occasional role model (poor kid ... will need counselling later). So (back to the toast bit) ... the funniest thing was watching his expression change from that of a big happy kid to, after licking the knife, his whole world was opened up to a new taste experience ... Vegemite ... poor bugger, almost cried ... . 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weegee Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 OK....driving back from shopping on a busy road outside the town....like reliving an experience elsewhere in another country previously... Motor bike....naturally driving too fast and weaving in and out traffic....flew past me and soon after, we passed him standing on the side of the road with the front frame wheel and all, supported by his right arm and thigh....the rest lay in a trench (newly dug) along the side of the road....He apparent hit the trench, broke off the front wheel (frame), and was standing there stunned as we passed by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gsxrnz Posted December 30, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2013 Watching four blokes and two women move a pile of sand through a fence to for a little building project next door, using scrapers and hoes. It took two days, but two Kiwi's with one shovel and two wheelbarrows could have done it in 4 hours. Why don't Thais understand the concept of wheeled technology for manually moving <deleted>? Nevertheless, provided me with a lot of entertainment which began when the dump truck deposited it outside the wrong house........mine. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David, I suspect weegee is only suggesting it was funny purely because the rider was unhurt and brought his misfortune on himself. I do confess to having been on both sides of that coin myself. I've been both the stunned mullet looking sadly at my demolished piece of machinery through my own ineptitude, as well as laughing at some pratt that totals his bike through stupidity but emerges unscathed. I'm talking race track stuff in the main, but stupidity, followed by disaster with no injury is always worthy of a scornful chuckle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dick head in the weeds is . The only time it's not quite so funny is when it's you (as in the 1st person) that's the <deleted> in the weeds. Especially when you're driven back to the pits in the recue truck with weeds hanging out the back of your helmet, covered in mud, with 18 pieces of your bike clutched to your chest, and you know that EVERYBODY knows you were stupid to try and pass the girl on the pink GSXR on the outside of a 100klm bend at 120klm. Don't ask me how I know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i would have to agree with David, humanity lives in a bubble, its difficult for them to connect to anything out side of it, ESPECIALLY today when every body likes to paint a story with their own brush...

You may be stronger than us at cricket (at the moment), but Vegemite will always be a weak substitute for the real thing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ToddWeston Posted December 30, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2013 Three funny situations occurred this year. First - a neighbour was asking me different ways of saying good bye - Cheerio, TTFN, have a nice day, bye for now, see you later and enjoy the rest of your day etc, I said we east coast Canucks usually say "enjoy the rest of your day" after a long chat with her on a different subject I had to leave and she pipes out "Enjoy the rest of your DAYS" - maybe she knows something I don't Second- I was buying a shirt and decided to take a few sizes to the change room and the clerk insisted on helping me. I tried on the medium and said "this shirt is too small" without missing a beat she responds "the shirt isn't too small" it took me exactly one second to realise she was calling me fat and I burst out laughing the entire store could here me roaring. Third- MIL is pure gold and we go out shopping all the time and have a blast. I wanted to take her to Chinatown to buy some leather so she could make stuff. She isn't a fan of Chinese food but I insisted and filled her full of Chinese tea, after walking she asks me if I know where there is a washroom, we found one and she went to do her business. After we were walking I looked down and said WHY are you only wearing ONE sock with your sandals? she smiled and said she forgot tissue. Bless them, they made me smile and made my day. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
