    I seen someone slip on a grape fall flat on his back. It was priceless unfortunately I was working at the time so I had to stop laughing and act like a decent human being. :(

    This one time I was walking down the street and a bloody anvil landed on my head!!! :eek: It hurt, and I saw 3 small birds flying around my head for a few seconds, but I managed to keep my consciousness long enough to ask a giant bunny rabbit to take me to the hospital. He duely obliged.

    Really though, no. I did actually slip on a banana skin recently, but I didn't go crashing to the ground or nothin.

    I saw a landscape gardener stand on a rake head and almost whack himself in the face with it....myself and the other two guys working in the house were falling about laughing.

    Was getting talked-down-to by someone in authority, when all of a sudden their legs come out from under them, slipping on ice, and landing on their butt. Fortunately, only their pride got hurt, cause I had the giggles and couldn't resume a straight face for their (earlier) serious talk.

    I once saw a Doctor giving a poor nurse a really hard time and when he turned to smugly march off he walked straight into a glass patio door you could see the shape of his face all smudged on it! It was brilliant (I was in stitches)sorry couldn't resist.:p

    I thought the rake-thing was going to happen many years ago, alas the prong went through yer mans foot instead. Gutted.

    A few years ago a friend of mine asked me for a lend of a stepladder. I was walking to his place with another mate of mine and I was carrying the stepladder on my shoulder. Someoen behind me called my name and I turned to see who it was catching my mate straight in the back of the head with the ladder. :)

    More a Laurel and Hardy moment than a cartoon moment but it was funny. I laughed...my mate was less amused :o

    When on a Dublin bus, some passing idiot knocked a girl on a bike under the front wheels, and the driver jammed on. He avoided hitting the girl by inches. We were all sitting on the long seat that runs alongside the entry corridor just inside the door (on the old orange bus's) and my brother, beside me had a big cake for saturday tea on the seat beside him. Everybody on the bus went flying when it screeched to a halt, but my brother went straight up in the air, and the cake slid under him. SPLAT!! Classic moment. :D
    I would have laughed, but I had broken my nose on a glass panel dividing the seat from the front doors, so was a bit pre-occupied with crying at the time. (I was only about 7 so the crying bit was acceptable).

    We were playing ice hockey (with a stick and another piece of ice :)) with a few friends when one of them made a slip up. He was a heavy lad and there was a big crack in the ice when he got up. It was like Home Alone all over again! :D

    I just choked on my tea.

    Have slipped on a banana before, didn't fall though... just kinda slid for a few feet and regained my composure. Dignity: intact.

    I know a lad who bought a new pool table for the spare room but ended up in the kitchen after about an hour. Poor fuker was in shock for about a week


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,687 ✭✭✭Dun laoire


    Now that i think of it i remember two auld fellas having an argument outside a pub one night. One was smoking a pipe and when he went to take a puff from it the other fella gave it a palm shot. Pure classic, the whole stem of it was in his mouth. A real popeye moment
