She stepped on it and said "Die scum!" We started laughing then started to walk away when I heard her say "Oh gosh!" I turned and saw that the can she had stepped on was still on her foot and had curled itself around her shoe. She laughed then proceded to yell "Oh no!! The can is fighting back! Save yourselves!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-something-funny-1#post-2190054 Mon, 26 Apr 2021 15:07:58 +0000 Synne 2190054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, I get it now. I think. Your experience in the doctors office must have been terrible uncomfortable!! I applaud your stoic stance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-something-funny-1#post-2190048 Mon, 26 Apr 2021 14:49:06 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2190048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Synne, the reason laughed at the “what have you done” was definitely because we both find it entirely inappropriate to ask anyone, male or female. He was new to the school, but I’m sure some of the kids knew who someone was talking about in discussing their own experience. (I assume the girls did the same in their group). Even boys can want to be private about their “private parts”! This part of my son is entirely normal, as far as I know (&amp; I probably wouldn’t say it here if he wasn’t), but he is a very private person in general. Going around the circle with this question shocked him into laughter. </p> <p>Even worse for him, he thinks he made a language goof that resulted in giving incorrect information. We had a laugh about that too, because what else can you do? He’s good at German, but it’s still a foreign language. We make mistakes and laugh to keep from crying. </p> <p>The very clinical, 3rd person way this was discussed in his US classes (complete with close-up pictures of advanced sexual diseases) and the “don’t present your future husband with a used, old sock; keep yourself fresh and new for him” I got both are both based in the ideas that sex is very bad and kids can/should be scared away from it. In that way, we find the assumptions that adolescents are sexual beings and the info being discussed is relevant to their lives refreshing. But it doesn’t need to be addressed like that! </p> <p>I suppose there is a parallel lack of concern about privacy in my medical test results being announced to all present and the question in his class. Once we get over ourselves, it’s funny to us in an embarrassed kind of way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-something-funny-1#post-2190037 Mon, 26 Apr 2021 13:24:16 +0000 Synne 2190037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my, FashIntern.. not to derail this uplifting post, but would #3 still be funny if your son was a girl? There are some really creepy issues about (European) sex-ed in schools. I cringe at the thought, and I am saying that as both a parent and someone who have worked in education. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-something-funny-1#post-2190012 Mon, 26 Apr 2021 12:10:42 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2190012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My visit to the gyno today made me laugh:</p> <p>1.) I was offered a video appt. I keep picturing myself perched on the bed, a chair, or the toilet, trying to get the right camera angle </p> <p>2.). Mean laugh at the myth of German efficiency—as usual, the receptionist completely finished with the patient ahead of me before giving me the 3 pages of forms for a new patient to fill out, then did the same to the next patient while working with/waiting for me. </p> <p>3.) I gave a urine sample after the exam, then sat in the waiting room with about 5 other people while they checked it, until the receptionist called me out by name, and said no evidence of x or y had been found in my urine. No one else blinked. </p> <p>Related—when they did sex Ed in my son’s school<br /> 1. No forms, info or permission slips ahead of time<br /> 2. They used the f-word in class<br /> 3. They went around the room of tenth grade boys and had each guy say hat sexual experience he’d had. </p> <p>I guess these are only funny from a particular cultural standpoint. We laugh all the time at this sort of thing, and about how weird some American things must look to Germans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-something-funny-1#post-2189849 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 18:53:05 +0000 nuancedream 2189849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's a Sunday smile for you, chewyspaghetti.

I knew this and should’ve been prepared, but still got a shock that woke me up better than caffeine ever could one morning when I went to get water to make coffee. I grabbed the kettle, sleepily turned on the water, and out from under the clutter in the sink shot a perky little gecko, fired up, ready to go! They are harmless &amp; very cute, but still not what I expect greeting me first thing in the morning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-something-funny-1#post-2189662 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 01:18:16 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2189662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>nuancedream- very funny! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-something-funny-1#post-2189660 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 01:14:04 +0000 nuancedream 2189660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An elderly man in Texas had owned a large farm for several years. He had a beautiful large pond at the back of the property next to the road, and he’d fixed it up real nice with picnic tables, horseshoe pits, and he’d planted some nice flowers and fruit trees next to the pond. One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond to look it over, as he hadn’t been down there for a while. He grabbed a five-gallon bucket to bring back some fruit. As he neared the pond, he heard splashing and female voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer he saw that 5 young women had parked their car at the side of the road, climbed the fence and were skinny-dipping in his pond. He made the women aware of his presence and they all went hurriedly splashing to the deep end.</p> <p>One of the women shouted to him, “We’re naked and we’re not coming out until you leave!” The old man frowned and yelled back, “I didn’t come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the pond.” Holding the bucket up he said, “I’m just here to feed the alligator.”</p> <p>Moral of the story: Old men can still think fast.</p> <p>My great uncle (Uncle Herb) who passed away in 2018 at the age of 97 told me this story.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-something-funny-1#post-2189618 Sat, 24 Apr 2021 19:16:57 +0000 ophelia 2189618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chewyspagetti, I live in snake central-found another 2AM wanderer in the form of a beautiful *coral snake* cruising across my apartment living room (I gently escorted him outside with some difficulty but with no damage to either of us, or the cats) but thank goodness have never discovered one in the commode! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-something-funny-1#post-2189537 Sat, 24 Apr 2021 14:36:58 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2189537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ophelia- I have heard stories of snakes swimming up the pipes into a toilet and I have a fear of finding one. I'm glad yours was only a toad! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-something-funny-1#post-2189531 Sat, 24 Apr 2021 14:08:18 +0000 ophelia 2189531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In keeping with the spirit of 2020, last summer I woke up around 2AM &amp; staggered to the bathroom. I lifted the toilet seat lid—note, I always close the lid &amp; am the only one who uses that bathroom—&amp; in the bowl was a toad sitting on the front of the bowl looking up at me. Yes, there was a toad in the toilet. At 2AM. I had to shut the lid, go get a container &amp; rescue the toilet bound toad. I have no idea how he got in there, but since it wasn’t from inside the house, it can’t be good.<br /> I have not before nor since ever found a critter, live or dead, in the toilet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-something-funny-1#post-2189488 Sat, 24 Apr 2021 02:22:17 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2189488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha! Thanks Nikki! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-something-funny-1#post-2189484 Sat, 24 Apr 2021 01:32:25 +0000 Anonymous 2189484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will give it a whirl. Here’s a story from today. I was walking to the post office with hubby and saw a yellow school bus. I was surprised because of remote learning, I haven’t seen one in about 10 months. So I pointed it out to hubby. He waved at the bus in a joyous kind of way. A student (maybe around 10 years old) flipped him off, he continued to wave and student continued to flip off. I started laughing and waggled my index finger at the kid and we all burst out loud laughing. I guess the kids are back in school </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-something-funny-1#post-2189483 Sat, 24 Apr 2021 01:30:46 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2189483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg Suntiger- thank you!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-something-funny-1#post-2189481 Sat, 24 Apr 2021 01:20:10 +0000 Anonymous 2189481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This should cheer you up :)</p> <p><a href="https://www.boredpanda.com/funny-shopping-items-nordstrom/" rel="nofollow">https://www.boredpanda.com/fun.....nordstrom/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-something-funny-1#post-2189479 Sat, 24 Apr 2021 01:04:22 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2189479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm stuck at work, and my new boiler suit is in my mailbox at home.<br /> Tell me something fun or funny to divert my attention from the sad situation here... </p>
