This is a thread for posting witty quotes, funny stories, and transcripts of amusing conversations from real life. These include wisecracks, taunts, and unintentionally hilarious things that you have said or heard someone else say, funny stories and experiences you have had, and humorous exchanges between two or more people that you have overheard or been involved in. Subjects of stories and speakers of quotes can be you, family members, friends, acquaintances, or complete strangers; as long as it’s something you’ve said, heard, witnessed, or experienced in the real world (and not routines or staged performances as in a play or a comedian’s stand-up act), and isn’t too rude, dirty, or otherwise inappropriate (see the GOF censorship rules), it’s acceptable. This thread is not to be confused with the “Funniest Quotes You've Heard” thread in the Silver Screen section, as all quotes and stories in this thread must be from real life, not from movies or television. It is also distinct from the “Make your own quotes” thread, because quotes here must specifically be humorous. And that said, the stories and quotes shared here should not be jokes, per se; those should be posted in this thread. To start off, and to provide examples of the kind of material that should go in this thread, I am reposting these quotes (originally posted here), all conversations that took place between members of my wacky family, which essentially provided the original inspiration for this thread. Enjoy! ![]()
P.S. I’d like to thank Cancerian Tiger for suggesting this thread, and Rat_lady7 for asking the question in my “Ask Me” thread that led to me originally posting the above quotes.

Wow, I didn't realize I was so privileged to have funny conversations and incidents in my life. ![]() I guess I'll bump this thread with another one of my personal stories. This conversation is only funny if you understand the context of it, so read the following paragraph first. My mom, my youngest brother, and I were in the family room. They were on the couch in front of the TV, and I was standing nearby. I was bored, and felt like watching a video, so I asked them what they felt like watching, but worded it rather vaguely because I expected they’d know what I was talking about. However, it happened that my mother was feeling worn out from the heat (it was a warm day), while my brother was feeling hungry. It turned out that none of us were thinking about the same thing, but we all thought we were, so each of us ended up interpreting the prior speaker(s) in completely different ways. To this day it is one of our favorite moments of real-life comedy:

Okay, I have one I now remember for a little while ago, a small conversation about Lego Batman believe it or not Me: Huh, I just unlocked Bruce Wayne as a character My Friend: What's he going to do? Throw money at you? Man, that was just a classic, well, I can't recall if that's what I said exactly, but it was about unlocking Bruce Wayne as a character in the game, and that's what my friend had said :lol: |

^ THANK YOU! Finally another poster! I'll post another of my own. My youngest brother has a habit of making extremely bizarre noises when he stretches. (One time my mother heard him stretching from elsewhere in the house and yelled, “What’s wrong with the cat?!” :lol). A while ago, he was making some of his unearthly stretching sounds, and I commented on it:

The most hilarious thing I had ever heard was what this girl said after me and my friend had seen Bruno. Unfortunately I don't think I'd be allowed to post what she said as it is inappropriate. |

Don’t worry, I never punch hard, only playfully.

My two friends and I were talking about a geometry quiz. Friend 1: I don't think I did so well on the quiz, but I'll be happy with whatever I got. Me: Yeah, bread crumbs are better than nothing. Friend 2: But nothing is better than getting a good grade. Friend 1: Then, according to the law of detachment, bread crumbs are better than getting a good grade. |

![]() That happens to me all the time, actually. Sometimes when I'm with my family in a public place where there are a lot of people and/or it is easy to get lost (such as a zoo or airport), I find myself looking around and asking “Where’s (name of family member)?”, only for someone else (often the person I'm looking for) to say “Right here”, and I turn around and see them right behind me.

Well I guess you could say it's funny. Well at least to me, but... When I had gotten back from class, I stopped at Best Buy to pick up The Human Centipede on DVD. So before heading home, I decided to go to Borders and visit a friend of mine. She noticed the DVD in my pocket and asked what it was. When I showed it to her, she just started freaking out and showing her co-workers the DVD. And then she started asking me questions like, "Why does he cut their knees?", "Why did they do this, why did they do that?" And so on and so forth. I just found her reaction and the questions funny. |

Funniest thing I've every heard is my friend Zack singing "We Wish you a Merry Christmas" yesterday, and today. I told him it was October, you should be doing halloween themed stuff, save it for christmas.

Told this to a co-worker after I heard it at a meeting: Arguing with an adolescent is like mud-wrestling with a pig; you both will get dirty and the pig actually enjoys it. |

Glad to see so many people posting in this thread! ![]() Here’s a quote of mine I uttered last night relating to my absentmindedness, namely the increasingly frequent moments in which I completely blank out in the middle of a sentence:

^ I actually spent several seconds laughing out loud (albeit quietly) at that one. ![]() I'm currently working as a volunteer at an aquarium, where my job is to answer questions (:smile :DD) and show visitors how to properly pet the fish in the touch tanks. The following is a permutation of one of the most frequent conversations I have when I tell visitors that they can touch the sturgeon:
