Of course the "victim" must not be harmed unduly ( either physically or emotionally), but the dénouement of any such event must be punchy and totally unexpected.....if it is to amuse the watcher
Today I took Richard to the train station in Prestatyn. We were a little early, so decided to go for a coffee at the scala cinema and as we walked down the High Street, we spied a security van parked slightly skew wiff next to the bank.
A small crowd had gathered as the van's alarm was sounding ( It sang out a somewhat strange, slightly effeminate plea of "get help....get help!" and the driver was stood unhappily by the vehicle talking to two bored looking police women!
I stopped and asked an elderly man what was the matter and he laughed
"The stupid twat of a guard has locked himself inside the van and has been there for ages"
Like I said , I love little moments like these.....especially when they happen to someone else and not me........
A few years ago I was standing in the Nat West Bank in Rhyl, waiting for a till to become available. when I noticed my sister in law standing at the enquiry till.The bank was crowded and I was in a hurry so after I deposited my cheque , I sneaked up behind her and for some strange reason whacked her soundly on the arse with the flat of my hand..
The smack made a resounding " TWACK" as hand came in contact with skirt covered bum and I seemed to elicit a collective "oooooooohhhhh" from the crowd of customers a second before ( and yes you've guessed it) a woman that was NOT my sister in law yelled out at the top of her lungs
" what the f*ck?!!!!!!!"
I seem to spend my life doing things like this

Tee hee. I think I'd rather be the guard locked inside his truck than you thwacking your "sister" on the bum. kiss kiss
ReplyDeleteHah! I can just see you doing that!
ReplyDeleteI can hardly type...I am laughing so hard....tears streaming...and wheezing here....gad...that was hysterical! Sorry I laugh at your embarrassment, but how on earth did you leave the scene after that?
ReplyDeleteServes you right!
ReplyDeleteJim
ROFL :O)... good funnies!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I wish I hadn't had a mouth full of hot chocolate when I read about your's!
ReplyDeleteOMG-I am laughing beyond words. That is hilarious. Did you quickly explain how she looked like your beautiful sister-in-law? :)
ReplyDeleteAmy
How funny! I want to hear what you said to her after you found out she wasn't your sister in law! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I didn't a good laugh and also enjoyed finding out I am not the only person who goofs up now and then.
ReplyDeleteDo you know it look me approximately 10 minutes to pick myself up off the floor because I fell down laughing! Seriously! John, thank you for making my day - that was absolutely the BEST:-)!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso glad you didn't get arrested!
I couldnt laugh because I do this to myself the whole time and so often that its not even funny if it happens to anyone else now. xxx!
ReplyDeleteI wonder why it is that we seem to secretly delight in the misfortunes of others. That being said, I would have been laughing hysterically at the poor man in the security van. Especially with that siren!
ReplyDeleteThanks for skipping by.
ReplyDeleteI love this post.
In my former life I was a letter carrier. One very busy morning, I was the last of the carriers still in the office when the boss came by with a troup of school kids interested in the behind-the-counter scenes of the Postal Service. I was in a hurry and had my back to the little duffers when I bent over to lift a heavy tray of mail from the floor. I could not only hear, but feel the seam of my britches splitting all the way to my belt, presenting a nice expose to the youngsters... and my boss. arg.
