Hi batrus. When you start a topic thread make sure to include what you want everyone to talk about in your first post-in the above post you simply posted an emoticon image and I'd like to see more from you than that. Everyone here would buddy. :) I'm going to edit your thread starting post and simply put your topic description into the above post, so that those members reading it will understand what you're talking about. I think this is a great topic. ;) thumbs up The topic: I'm afraid I don't have very many humorous stories to tell regarding members of my family. There are, however, a couple that come to mind: 1. my father was notorious for feeding our pets, all dogs, from the dinner table. My mother voiced her displeasure with him numerous times about this but this didn't stop my father from doing it. One night, when I was 19, and home on furlough from college, I witnessed my father, as my mother was away from the dinner table making coffee in the kitchen, hand over two entire pork chops, under the table, to our Irish setter named "Mike". He winked at me as he did it and I started laughing like all get out. My mother spied what my father was doing from the nearby kitchen and hurled a plastic cheese grater at him.  Me and my father both laughed again about this many years later as he recounted the story.2. when I was very young, in my early teen years my father would take my mother and me with him on his annual summer work-related conventions to Panama City, Florida. At the time we had a pet, a great dane named "Max", who we dropped off at a kennel for the week while we went to Florida. One year after we had arrived at the kennel to pick up "Max" our great dane got out of his pen early and, happy to see all of us, reared up on his hind legs and collided with my father, knocking him flat on his behind. This dog weighed 140 lbs by the way. Everyone, even my father, had a good laugh about this.

If I recounted many of my family's funny bits, we'd be here forever....be it intentional or unintentional, my family always cracks me up. Here's just a few..... 01) My Aunt was sitting with her daughters one fine Summer evening and was admiring the beautiful hummingbird that was buzzing right by her and my cousins, with much rolling of the eyes, explained that it wasn't a hummingbird, it was a huge bug!  02) One time, my cousin, looking for a mall in a driving rainstorm, rolled her window down and asked a man where the call was located...he looked at her and asked her if she was serious, she replied yes and he said, 'You're sitting in the parking lot of it!'. :lol: 03) Mom once told me, when I was about 3, she had been pregnant and because she was so ill during the pregnancy and lost the baby three days after his birth, we hadn't walked or done much physical activity, so we'd both put on weight. She was cutting some veggies up and at 3, I asked her what she was doing and she told me because we'd both put on some weight, she was cutting up veggies for us to snack on. She said in all seriousness, I looked at her and whispered, 'OK, Mom, but let's not tell anyone we're fat!'. lol3 |

The only other humorous recollection I can think of right now: my father, when I was a teenager, kept small glasses of various liquors in the refrigerator, as he usually preferred to consume his drink chilled. One Saturday afternoon when I was 14 years old, I came in from outside, hot, tired and thirsty from mowing the grass. I opened the refrigerator door and removed a glass of dark liquid. Believing it to be sweet tea I took a huge swallow of it, only to realize it was liquor, more specifically some whiskey my father had poured in the glass, and placed in the refrigerator. My mother howled with laughter at my reaction from the accidental consumption of whiskey, which was part gag, part heave and all yelling "yuck!".  I can't think of any college shenanigans, at least right now. I'll try and think of some things that went on in the barracks and I'll post them later. As to high school I can remember, as a junior, wanting to impress a pretty girl I was interested in: to show her how worthy I was of a date with her I tried some kind of semi-acrobatic maneuver on some steps inside the main building of my high school: I went down the steps, but not in the way I had planned. Rather I fell off the handrail and fell down most of them, my books going flying everywhere. Plenty of bystanders got a good laugh out of that. Later I had to explain to the vice principal why I attempted the stunt: I tried being funny by telling him it was for a physics class project. Judging by the look on his face I'm certain, even to this day, that he didn't believe me.

Funny how at times or perhaps certain ages, your family's antics can absolutely horrify some people, but me, I laugh more at my family, just because most of the time, the humor isn't intentional.
lol3 Wow! That would be one shocking gulp! cheeky sick smiley |

Among some of the more humorous college stories: -as many of you may, or may not know, I attended and graduated from The Citadel, a liberal arts military college in Charleston, SC(from 1980-1984). There are four barracks that house the corps of cadets. I was housed in the fourth barracks, nicknamed, appropriately, The Animal House. Among some of the more zanier things I personally witnessed, or was involved in, during my four years of college in these barracks: -in the Fall of my freshman year two seniors in my company, bored, with too much time on their hands and inebriated from liquor they had snuck into the barracks, spent an entire evening tearing out pages of several phone books, then loosing them off the fourth floor level of the barracks. As it was very breezy the wind carried about two thousand loose pages all over the barracks interior. It took me and my classmates, along with freshmen from the other three companies in the barracks, about an hour to pick up all the pages. -during my sophomore year, in December of 1981, person(or persons) unknown set fire to a another company's large(12' tall) Christmas tree, which burned to a crisp. Fortunately the fire didn't spread. At the end of the following year(in 1982) someone set fire to the contents of a dumpster left in the barracks(dumpsters were left inside the barracks at the end of every school year for cadets to throw out garbage, etc). -during an SMI(Saturday morning inspection) in the Spring of my junior year(1983) one of the inspecting officers, a Marine Corps Major, discovered an inflatable(female) sex doll hidden away up in the ceiling panel of the room of one of the sophomore cadets in my company, a guy named "Wendell". -during my sophomore year an unpopular cadet in "R" company, who had "ratted out" a classmate for some kind of minor infraction(considered taboo by the way), returned to his room one day to find a fresh pile of human feces on his bed. -one of the weekly past times of seniors in my company, "T" company, while I was a freshman, was "roach races". As the phrase implies, these seniors would gather in an alcove room and race cockroaches in makeshift cardboard cutouts. -at the end of my freshman year, in May of 1981 me and my classmates pulled a prank on one of the most hated upperclassmen among all of us, a senior from Boston, MA named "John". Finding out from his roommate that "John" hated bugs of each and every kind, we went to a local bait and tackle shop near the Citadel campus and ordered 10,000 crickets. It took two weeks for the shop owner, himself a Citadel graduate, to get the order of insects into his shop. We snuck the insects into the barracks over a period of two weeks, then, when "John" had come back to his room drunk one Saturday night, his roommate "Charley"(who was in cahoots with us) vacated the room and we loosed, out of six boxes, 10,000 crickets and closed the door, removing the latch and tying the door shut from the outside, thereby preventing "John's" only avenue of escape. It didn't take long for this prick to wake up and start hollering. We kept him locked in the room for about forty five minutes before letting him out. He was not, predictably, a happy camper.

Rest assured, Kimi, that you will always be on "my good side". :) Other barracks foibles I heard about or witnessed while in college: -as a sophomore my company received a transfer, "Mark R.", a senior cadet from another company, who was ostracized and ridiculed by members of his original company, including his own classmates. He was transferred to my company out of concerns for his safety. The reason for "Mark's" transfer: his roommate caught him in the act one day, in his room, attempting to sexually gratify himself with a mesh laundry bag half full of clothes. -as a freshman cadet I was subjected, along with fellow freshman classmates, to various forms of humiliation by various upperclassmen in the mess hall, mostly being the recipient of flying debris at the table, thrown by upperlassmen. I had, at various times, the following dumped on me inside the mess hall: grits, mashed potatoes, tomato soup, and chile, the latter on top of my head. nonono -once early in my freshman year(1980), while doing "PT" with the training cadre(upperclassmen tasked with initial fourthclassmen training) on the parade field at about 5:30 AM, me and my classmates dropped down to do pushups. I dropped down into the "lean and rest" position, both of my hands planting squarely in a large, rectangular mound of fire ants. I yelled out, which was prohibited. Our company first sergeant hustled over, and started to holler at me until he saw what had happened. He pulled me up by my shirt and walked me to another spot on the parade field that was, thankfully, free of fire ants. Both of my hands were swollen, from the ant bites, for about a day and a half.

As a young child I used to watch my Mother and Father cook various fish and meats on the stove with skillets. My Father had bought me one of those kiddie fishing poles that had a little plastic hook and came with 3 or 4 plastic "toy" fish. Wanting to cook a meal for my parents, I fired up the stove and threw one of these plastic fish in a skillet over the hot burner. Luckily my Mom smelled the melting plastic and rushed in to shut off the stove before I started a fire. I didnt get too harshly punished that day, I think because I was only 4 or 5 years old and really didnt know any better. |
