When you look into the abyss, what do you see? (21)
Marsha the Mannequin. OMG, I love your sense of humor.Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!
With my whacky, off the wall, sense of humor when I am with close friends and I see an outside statue of a male I will sometimes go up to the statue and physically "tweak" it's private area as a joke. A few weeks ago I did this and I lost my balance and accidently broke the statue's head off. No, not that head, the top head. And no, no alcohol was used to harm any of these statues.........

Good one, Immanuelle! I've never forgotten the time when I was 15, almost 16, going for my driver's ed classes, and then returning to the timeshare my parents had 45 minutes from home, in the lake area of NH. On this particular day I had told friends of mine, brothers, that I would meet them at the main building when I got back. I did so, found that they weren't in their unit, but rather down in the game room. Now, to get to said game room from there, you had to go down a small flight of 3 steps where two buildings joined, and there was a doorway over it. I don't know who did that godawful and dangerous design, but it was my undoing that day. I decided to jump the 3 steps and forgot about the doorjamb overhead, only to land ungraciously at the bottom of the steps with my head split open.
Does my idiocy stop there? Oh no. Then I continued down to the game room and had them call an ambulance before we called my parents. My parents were there long before the ambulance, and I got quite a lecture about the cost of that little ride when we could already have been at the hospital by the time it got there.
Yep...I've certainly looked down and found a goofball!

Many years ago when I first went to work for Lockheed Martin I had to go to my first business meeting with my boss. The meeting was only about 50 miles away in Los Angeles. My boss told me to drive because she didn't know the way. I told her "no problem" I know LA like the back of my hand.
About three hours later we were still driving around Los Angeles lost!!!!! Need I say more.

OMG SA! You just reminded me of the scene in The Wedding Planner with Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey!
At least you didn't get "stuck" to the statue!

Okay...I was on the right path. Yay! I laughed at the right thing!!
It's really sad, I often laugh at the part of the joke that is not supposed to be funny and completely miss where the humour is supposed to be, but I have a good time doing it.

I have more than the average "normal" person! ROFL!
I've posted a few in the Most Embarrassing Moments thread. I will share the only "goofy" one that comes to mind right now.
In high school I had this HUGE crush on this boy that was a carry-out at a local grocery store. Mom and I always made sure we'd get in his lane so he could carry our groceries out to the car and make small talk with him. After he had put the groceries in the back seat for us he waited for me to get in so he could shut my door for me. Well, when he started flirting with me I accidentally shut his entire hand in the door.

Hi Immy! I'm getting married. (slightly provacative walk? slightly?)
As for me, I've had so many less than gracious moments that I have been forced to embrace them as my finest moments. Graciousness doesn't befit me anyway. Smile and the world smiles with you. I love you, Immy.

MERKY!!! OMG!!! I can't even laugh, I feel so bad for you.
Did you open the door? Or did he have to do it himself
Ok, now I am laughing.Reminds me of a story. I might have posted this before, at 99 the memory is gone...Was selling those annual yummy chocolate covered almonds (which you end up eating most of and your mom has to pay for them). Went to the house of the hot guy on the street who I was totally head over heels in love with. He opened the door, I went to speak and spat all over him. I ran away.
Dang!!! As if puberty wasn't hard enough.... without out of control saliva incidents.

Gosh, I have so many they are just part of my life!
I guess the worst was feeling like I was in someone's life, all the while being "taken for a ride" whilst his friends and family knew the real story. I carried myself as a lady, and only tripped and fell at the end!
Yeah, that wasn't so funny at the time, but I laugh about it now.

roseofsharon: Ohhh yessss.... I have been a goof-ball at times, but that won't come as any surprise to those that know me?!
The faux pas I have made......
There was one time when, at school, in English literature class, we had to, in turn, stand up and read a piece of Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice". Needless to say, when it came to my turn, the piece I had to read contained the word "gentile".... but what came out of my mouth instead?!
Goodness knows where my mind was at the time...??!!

I may not get Monty Python and other made-for-laughs humour, but I loveeeeeeee silly people humour. 
Although for any of my american brethren and canucks out there,made-for-laughs humour Carol Burnett, Harvey Corman, .....they were funny!!!!!

I see a total goof ball.
I was walking down a street today, which is in the fashion district in a city of The Netherlands, very uppity. I was doing my sedate yet slightly provocative walk when the moment of truth arose and I was shown up for the goof ball I am.
I was walking past a boutique where mannequins donned gorgeous outfits and the stupid proprietor of the store was standing in the window. I didn't realize it was human and it moved just as I walked by the window. I had a flash back to 'The Twilight Zone' episode when Marsha the mannequin comes to life and I jumped about 4 feet into the street and screamed outright. (I may have wet myself - I am not sure)
There was no cool recovery as people on the street turned to look at me in my very ungracious moment of horror. I can't even speak Dutch well enough to have made any cool comebacks or comments. I laughed with the idiot proprietor in the window and very quickly moved away.
The shame....The moment of truth.
What stupid stupid moments of truth have you been a part of, when you look into the abyss and see a goofball?
Share with me.... Please
Going running now..and watch out you mannequins, I am on to you now...
