Ideas for chick flick plot lines for storys? (a funny one would be great but give me any idea please!)?
It's kind of a chick flick but not humorous or romantic but quite real to life (it deals with topics later in the book such as abortion and domestic violence) but for the first few chapters, I'm gradually bringing in subjects but I'd also like a few funny scenarios if not just a scenario? I think I'm having writer's block! This is my first serious story to write! Thanks.
Would Tommy Roe's 'Sweet Pea' be considered one of the first bubblegum songs of the 60s?
I have a really funny story about this song. I was in the hospital for an extended period of time. During that time I had a catheter inserted into my bladder through my penis. It stayed in me and drained my pee as I was not able to pee on my own. There was a bag attached to the end of my bed to catch the pee and had to be emptied several times a day.This was not a job that required any special medical skills and was usually done by an aide.The big hit song at the time was “Sweet Pea”, by Tommy Roe.One of the aides who was just a high school aged girl came in to empty the bag and started to sing the song as she was working. I started to laugh and she asked why I was laughing. I said you are singing about sweet pea as you are emptying my bag of pee.She turned beet red and left the room as fast as she could. I told the nurse to tell I was sorry I embarrassed her. When the nurse asked why I told her the story. The nurse thought it was very funny, but went and told the aid that I did not mean to embarrass her and explained why it was so funny.The aide still had to come in and empty my bag, but she would not look at me.
Can you tell a joke or funny story that used to bring the house down but now is no longer funny or at least needs explaining?
A2A. Most jokes fade with time. From Ken Fishkin's answer to What are some old jokes that were considered hilarious in their time but would fall flat before most modern (early 21st century) audiences?Jokes are often ephemeral - they only make sense in the context of a particular time or setting. Just look at Roman jokes or any of the jokes at a few 4th Century Greek jokes. For a more recent example, consider this opening line from a famous Lenny Bruce performance:Man, poor Vaughn MeaderWithout using Google - how many of you get this?Beyond the specific, I'll highlight three categories of jokes that were considered hilarious not-that-long ago that fall flat today:The DrunkBefore Cheech & Chong were funny because they were stoned, there were comedians who were funny because they were drunk. Part of Dean Martin's persona was that he was supposedly always half-drunk. Perhaps the best-known example was Foster Brooks. Here's a typical performance from the 'Dean Martin Roast' (BTW, this is a great reference for this kind of question, as you get to see the funniest people of their times deliver lines - almost all of which fall flat today):it's funny because he's an airline pilot... and he's drunkI think it was with the rise of Mothers Against Drunk Driving that being drunk stopped seeming quite so hilarious.The StereotyperFor decades, a very popular type of humor in the U.S. was based on ethnic stereotypes - jokes about Irish, Italians, Jews, Blacks, etc. Here, from another Dean Martin roast, is an example of this genre, as delivered by Milton Berle. This one is particularly interesting as you can see the cultural zeitgeist changing. After Berle delivers a crack against Blacks (they'll steal the silverware, har har), you see that while Sammy Davis Jr. finds it hilarious, Wilt Chamberlain noticeably does not. Berle starts at 5:00 or so (with jokes about The Drunk), the Wilt Chamberlain interaction is at about 5:50The HomophobeHere's one of the great comedians of all time, Richard Pryor, speaking at his own roast. The part from 5:30 to 8:00, boy....
Any funny mcdojo stories?
I was in the mall shopping one day when I saw a karate (at least, I think it was....) demo going on in the court. They were all little kids of various sizes, kiai-ing as loud and as comical as possible. What got my attention was the way they were doing sweeps. They wouldn't sweep- they would forcibly kick- out their partners' legs, and then if they didn't fall down right away, they would push with their hands and hope for the best. One pair was a small kid with a chubby kid. The small kid kicked the back of the chubby kid's leg as hard as he could and pushed him repeatedly as if he was a boulder. The chubby kid shrugged, looked over at the instructor's stern look, and goes "Oh!" and pancakes himself to the ground.
Funny movie theater stories ?
you mean funny things that happened to me at the movie theateres? i hope thats what youre asking cuase im about to tell you a long story about my experience at the theater. A friend and I went to go see Marley n me. It was crowded, people of all ages were inside. I sat in the back, kind of near a large group of teenage boys and girls. Of course, they were a little inconsiderate and talked a little loudly during the begining of the movie. It was soft enough to tune out, but could considered annoying to some people. This large, buff man turns around and yells ' hey shut up!'. the man looks like he has a very short temper. the teens in the corner seem a little scared.. and manage to stay quiet for about 5 minutes. then their chatter starts building up agian. about ten minutes later, the buff guy stands up yells SHUT THE F**** UP and then chucks his soda at the kids. then he and his wife or whatever walk out muttering things about immaturity. then the manager comes in to see what went wrong. not funny b ut whatever. still interesting haha. :]
What are some funny stories of your childhood?
This happened when I was about 8 years old. I'd like to mention that my mom was not the person who she is today. She was really short tempered. We were staying in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. My parents had removed all the bedsheets and pillow covers and put them in the wash.I was sitting in my parents room, watching TV. I don't know how I had a marker, but I had a marker with me. I unknowingly started drawing on the mattress. I drew a peace sign, my signature, and a woman holding a baby. I assure you, it was a horrible painting.All of the sudden, my sixth sense went off and I realized that my mom would be coming to put the bedsheets on anytime now. I tried wetting the mattress with a little water to see if the marker would come off. But of course, I was drawing with a Sharpie (permanent marker). I suddenly had the "brilliant" idea to put shampoo on the mattress to get the marker off. I dumped a whole bottle of shampoo onto the mattress and started scrubbing like crazy. It still wouldn't come off. I heard my mom coming up the stairs and I ran into my room. I heard her come into her bedroom and I guess after seeing the foamy mattress, she screamed. I slowly came into her room and whimpered. I told her what happened. She was about to smack me when my dad came in and asked what happened.My mom summarized the story. My dad's a really calm and chill guy. He started to laugh and told her to relax. My dad went and got a hair dryer and started to the dry the area. My mom kept scrubbing and all she would get is foam. She got so angry and she started chasing me with a shoe (typical Indian moms I tell you). My dad told her to relax and to settle down. I remember my dad sitting there with the hair dryer for about an hour until finally, the soap and water dried up. My mom yelled at me and told me to never do it again. We still have the mattress and it brings up a lot of stories of when I was young and "rebellious". We laugh about it till this date. I swear, if my dad wasn't there, "Somebody gonna get a hurt, real bad". (Quoted from Russell Peters)
Are there any funny stories about speaking Quebecois French in France?
I feel like French are the one not getting over the fact that Quebecers don’t speak exactly the same French as they do. I’ve went to France twice and my accent got a lot of attention and got me a lot of comments (mostly nice, but quite a few numbers where about the fact that “I wasn’t speaking that badly after all”).So let me talk to you about Fred Pellerin. He’s a famous storyteller in Quebec. Very, very talented. He likes to play with the words, manipulate them and mix them to create new words. He’s also in love with French-Canadian language, so when he goes to France, he doesn’t really change the way he speaks. Which I respect a lot.He appeared on a French TV show called “On n’est pas couché” for an interview. At the end, they show him a Twitter message that asks: “Est-ce que le poids des gosses est aussi élevé au Québec?” The thing is, “gosse”, in France, means “kids”, but it means “testicule” in Quebec. So the sentence both means: “Are kids/testicules as heavy as in France?”Now, what I like a lot is Fred Pellerin’s reaction. At first, he understands that he’s in France and that “gosse” means “kids”, so he answers kind of seriously. Then, the host procceed to explain to the public that “gosse” means “testicule” in Québec.Fred Pellerin then said: “Oh, that’s what you where talking about.” The host then asks: “Aww, you already knew it?” And Fred Pellerin answers: “Of course, but I didn’t know that joke was still being made. I thought it was an old over-used joke… by the way, I have three of them.”
