Time to make Ada Laugh
Well, everyone tell theirfunniest story be it true or not.
I will start with a story from Ada about Ada (hope you do not mind):
I never did tell you about the time I strangled a 300lb man, well anyway I blame it on me being the youngest child and having the **** kicked out of me everyday. But anyways this man and his father were beating the **** out of an old boyfriend and I lost it completely, I put him in a sleeper hold and held on for dear life, his neck was HUGE! The cops show up, I get put in cuffs and to my dismay this guys wife videotaped it! I got charged with assault. The judge watched the tape and laughed his *** off, he kept on choking up when he asked me why I did that, he was in tears by the time I finished and he told me he would drop the assault charge if I would plead guilty to disorderly conduct. I totally know what you mean about kicking someones ***!!!! Thought it would make you laugh......BTW, the fine was only 30 dollars, worth every penny and it really helped with my anger issues at the time.....

The first time I went to Newfoundland I was very naieve about the ways of a province very different from Alberta. My friend was from Newfoundland but was living in Alberta for work but we went "home" for a visit.
In Newfoundland they have a LOT of music festivals and she took me to the Hangashore Festival. Her whole family (8 brothers and sisters and her Mother and Aunt Mil) were at the festival and the beer was flowing freely and it was hot and the music was good and a good time was being had by all. Now my friends Mother and Aunt Mil are in their 70's, grey hair, tea drinkin, sweethearts (or so I thought).
I decided to go to the facilities which were not far from where my friends Mother and her Aunt Mil were playing cards in a tent. As I leave the facilities I overhear Mother saying "Mil ye cheated...ye are nuttin' but an old S L U T! Well! My chin fell to my knees and I high tailed it back to the stage where my friend at the rest of the family were sitting on the ground, drinkin beer and listening to the music. I said to them, "someone has to do something, Mother and Aunt Mil are having a fight and I think it's pretty serious! My friend asked "geez me dear, why would ye be sayin' dat it's serious?" I responded that "Your Mother just called Aunt Mil an Old S L U T!
Well with that they all broke up laughing and rolling on the ground and I really didn't get what was so funny...when two seniors are behaving like that I assumed it would be serious! In Alberta (as in most places I imagined) if someone called someone else an Old S L U T, it would be grounds for a serious fight!
NOT APPARENTLY IN NEWFOUNDLAND...you see, in Newfoundland (for some strange reason only known to true Newfies) an Old S L U T is an old, flat bottomed Kettle used to boil water over a fire!!!
Boy was I even embarrased and every time I go to Newfoundland and see Mother and Aunt Mil the story is told over and over and over as are many more about the silly Albertan!

How about my first experience in the military, sort of?
I did an old fashioned Rotating Internship - combining Medicine, OB/Gyn, Peds, and Surgery. Then off to the Indian Health Service where I was a General Medical Officer in the Public Health Service for three years. It was in Yuma, AZ and I started in July. I signed all the employment papers, and because the PHS is a (sort of) branch of the military (you know, head guy is the Surgeon General) my mom and I were off to the Marine base to the commissary to stock up.
Well, they stopped us at the gate and asked for ID. I remembered something about signing a page titled something like "Officer Commission." So I told the guard, "I think I'm an officer." Now, mind you, I was 27, weighed about 120 and had my long wavy, blond hair up in pigtails, and was in short shorts and a peasant blouse - maaaaybe looked 16.
The guard snorted and said, "Little Girl, if you were an officer you'd KNOW you were an officer." The three other marines standing nearby snickered.
To which I said, "No, Really! I think I signed something. Mother, give me that file folder." So I reached in and fumbled around and found my commission papers. I was a 2nd Lieutenant. I gave him the papers, he paused then muttered, "My God, She's a Lieutenant!" And everybody snapped to attention. Well, this scared the Holy Sh*t out of me, and I thought they were going to shoot me. I froze. They just stood there staring straight ahead. My mom leaned over and said, "They won't relax until you salute back." I had never saluted before, no one had ever said how to do it, so I shakily reaffirmed the location of my forehead, and he waived me through. Meanwhile, my mom is in convulsions of hyterical laughter, and my heart is pounding a mile a minute.
My mom tells that story on me every chance she gets.

I had just started dating my children's father (ex now), which was one of those mister macho, tough guy, rodeo cowboy bull rider guys.
I wanted to cook one night so we decided to go to the grocery. Well, the grocery we went to was packed with people. My ex became bored and was fooling around jumping up on the bottom rail of the grocery cart and riding it down the aisle (when people weren't in the way). He did this any number of times, and I told him to quit and act like an adult because he was embarrassing me.
Well, Mr. Macho rodeo bullrider, decided he would just show me! (Remember now there are people everywhere) He finds a good open line of site down the aisle, takes off running with the cart, jumps on the bottom rail and whoosh the cart flips on him and he goes sliding on his back half way down the aisle!!!!!!
People are standing there with their mouths open and I am sure wondering who let him out of the crazy ward, while I am quietly slipping out of the store, laughing so hard I think I may have a heart attack!!!
A little time passes and Mr. Macho rodeo bullrider finally makes it to the truck. All I say is, "maybe if it had of had horns and fur you could have at least lasted 8 seconds". (this wasn't received too well) Then the uncontrollable laughing started again and for close to a month, everytime I looked at him all I could see was him on his back sliding down that grocery store aisle, and it was all I could do to control the laughter.
As I am writing this I am caught in a fit of laughter, after 27 years I still find this incredibly funny, hope you do too, Ada.

An old, wizened woman was walking along the beach when she found a small jar. It was dirty, but had a gleam inside and she took it home. Once home she made dinner and sat down by the fire with her cat, Bob. Eventually she remembered the jar, got it out and rubbed some of the dirt off with her sweater. It began to glow brightly and she pulled the stopper out to see what was in it. Out swam a beautiful, blond genie who told her she would grant three wishes.
The old woman thought for a long time, for she had heard about these things.
First she wished to be young and vibrant and excited about life again.
Second she wished to be wealthy enough to enjoy her new youth.
And, third, she wished that Bob would become the most studly, gorgeous, buff, young man who would answer all of her other desires.
And, Lo and behold, it all happened, just as she hoped! Only Bob was even more gorgeous than she could ever imagined. The two embraced one another, covering each other in feverish kisses. They groped and fell onto the silk sofa in an impassioned embrace. As Bob laid her back he murmured in her ear, "Aren't you sad you had me neutered?"

My 7 year old's nickname in our house is 'Oscar," because of his acting skills, and tendency toward being overly dramatic -- don't know where he gets it.
When he was in Kindergarten last year, my husband and I were getting ready for a big night out to celebrate Christmas with my office -- a very fancy restaurant party. So, as I'm getting ready, 'Oscar' strolls into my room and says, "Mommy, did you know I'm a girl?"
I tried not to overreact, and said (after I got my heart beating again), "What do you mean, Sweetie?"
"I'm a girl. I want to wear dresses and lipstick."
"Hmmmm. That is something we'll have to talk about. Why do you think you'd like to do that, Angel?"
"I just know I'm a girl. The doctor didn't tell you I was a girl when I was born. He didn't know, but I'm a girl."
I had to sit down. Almost needed to put my head between my kness, as he drops this bomb right as we're trying to get ready for this huge event.
"Well, I'm sorry, honey, that we got it wrong. Thank you for telling me. I'll have to think about what we should do, OK?"
"OK. Can we go buy me a dress tomorrow and grow my hair long?"
"Well, let's talk to daddy about this, and tomorrow we'll talk some more, all right?"
It goes on like this for two hours. He kept coming back to me in my various stages of getting ready, and tells me one more thing about his eager transformation into beigh a girl. I keep trying not to fall down, each detail taking five more years off my life. But, I will help him through this, call the pediatrician on Monday, and NOT, NOT be judgmental. And drink much more wine at the office party than I could imagine.
Finally, just before we are leaving, and after I've broken the news to hubby. Oscar comes into my room once more and, with the hugest smirk on his face, says, "MOMMY, you are SO STUPID!!" And with that he lets out a whopping laugh, unable to contain it any longer.
I don't know which was the stronger emotion. The relief or the humiliation. That little guy (at six years old) had me, hook line and sinker. He kept the straightest face through this whole charade, and came up with some pretty good lines. I used to be a stage actress before I was married, and kept pretty busy, working. But 'Oscar' takes the cake. I WISH I was half as talented as that little fool. He is going to win an award someday......maybe for BEST ACTRESS!!!
Hang tough, Ada!
Love and hugs,

A month before I had my unfortunate bout of ON.
I was getting ready to take a shower. Just got the water started and was completely undressed. My back went out. This never happened before and I was in so much pain. I collapsed to the floor and screamed. I could not move eve a little with causing terrible pain. We call an ambulance. We decided I should at least get some undies on. That was so hard because just moving my toe cause extreme pain. Took us over ten minutes to get them on. We did so just as the ambulance arrived.
Our bathroom is on the second floor so the paramedics had to carry me down. Good thing for back boards. It took over half an hour to get me down stairs. I was not for morphine I would not have made it.
I the ER they gave me some valium. With combination of valium and morphine I started finding everything funny. My wife caught on and start laughing which made me laugh harder. With each laugh came more pain which we both found amusing. Which made me laugh more. That caused more pain and it blossomed from there. Finally I had to kick my wife out of my room in order to stop laughing. Which too me about five minutes after she left.
As soon as she came back in the laughing begins again until I had to kick her out again.

My hubby is a newfie from Newfoundland.
The weather had been really hot and there was an impending storm rolling in and he was sitting in the back yard enjoying the cooling wind.
I am in the bedroom with the window open and it faces the back yard.
All of a sudden I hear "Hey Newf...are you going to sit out in the rain all night?"
I go to the window and I see hubby looking all around him to see where the voice is from.
Then: "c'mon Newf...don't you have enough sense to come in out of the rain?"
Hubby meekly and quietly says "Yeah"
Then, "well c'mon if your coming! Do you think I am going to stand here all day?"
Hubby looks up at me in the window and shrugs...
Suddenly we come the the conclusion that the new neighbors are Newfies from Newfoundland and the dogs name is NEWF!!!
What a laugh we had!
Hope you do too!

Forgot to mention one important thing, when they are trying to get the penny into the funnel they are not allowed to look at the funnel. This keeps thier eyes on the penny and off of you!!!
~Santana~
~Santana~
This isn't a funny story, but is a funny Joke to play on some of your unexpecting family members or close friends!!! But, if you do this joke/trick make sure you are in a clear place to get away before they can react!!!!!!! lol!!!!!
The Trick is called the Funnel, and was told to me by my 80 year old stepfather!!!!!!
Things you will need for this trick:
1. A funnel, the plastic kind is best!
2. A cup
3.Access to some form of liquid, the sink, a drink ect.....
4.A penny
Now you explain to the person that the trick to place the funnel in the waist line of thier pants in the front and place the penny flat on thier elbow bent up and to get the penny into the funnel by moving the elbow down and allowing the pennie to drop in the funnel without missing!
Of course, this is not the trick, but the person doen't know what the real trick is so they usually are so focused on balancing that penny on thier elbow that they are not even paying attention to you anymore!!
Here's what you do, Remember the cup? And the liquid? Now is when you are going to need it!
As soon as the person starts to move the elbow down to get the penny in the funnel, and is so completely comsumed with the task of getting it in and not paying any attention to you anymore, this is when you take the cup of liquid and pour in down the funnel!!!!!!!!!
Before they can even realize that they are wet in the crotch, the look on thier face is priceless and I promise you will get a good laugh!!!!!!!!!!!! I done this trick on my husband, all my boys and even some of the neighborhood kids who practically live at my house. I have never laughed so hard in my whole life!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They all laughed too eventhough they had to change clothes!!!!!!
I know, it was mean, but very funny and gave us all a good laugh!!!!!!

Just heard this one Friday. A well-to-do man was on his deathbed. He gathered his three best lifetime friends around him to say goodbye. He also made a request of each of them. "They say you can't take it with you, but just in case, I'm giving each of you $20,000 in an envelope. At my funeral, I want you each to slip your envelope into my casket so I'll have it with me, just in case I need it."
Well, the man died soon thereafter. At his funeral, each of his three friends did as he requested and slipped their envelopes into his casket. At the wake, they were reminiscing about their friend, and the subject of the money came up.
The first to speak said, "I gotta confess. There is so much hunger and poverty in the world, I just couldn't put that cash into a box knowing full well he wasn't going to be able to use it in Heaven. I kept $500 out and gave it to the Salvation Army."
That made the second friend brave enough to speak. "As you all know, I was his financial consultant. During the last year of his life, I did a lot of work getting his affairs in order and making sure his heirs were taken care of. I hadn't yet billed him when he died, so I kept $5,000 out of the envelope to pay for my professional services."
The third friend was indignant. "You should both be ashamed of yourselves. He trusted us with that money, and even though you both had very good reasons to withhold some, you still should have followed his instructions to the letter. Why, I'll have you know, I put in an envelope with a check for the entire $20,000!"

Those of you who are Moms will appreciate this story:
I have twin sons. They are now 36 years old and wonderful sons indeed. When they were about 8 years old, I had a job at a bank that made it possible to get home about 15 minutes after my boys got home from school. They each wore a key on a chain around their necks to let themselves in. One day, I was just getting ready to leave work when I was told there was a phone call for me. It was one of my twins...he said, "Hi, Mom, We got in OK..." I asked him what he meant by that, and he informed me that since they had both forgotten their keys, they got the ladder from the back yard to climb in their bedroom window. Now that meant they had to climb over a 6 foot privacy fence, drag the ladder up and over the fence and around the other side of the house to their window on the second floor! He then explained how the ladder wasn't quite tall enough, but was able to stand on the top rung and reach his window sill. He proceeded to climb into his room! I then tried to confirm that he went downstairs to let his brother in when he said, "No Mom! He wanted to climb the ladder too!" OK, just as I was trying to keep from passing out, he wanted to reassure me: "Don't worry, Mom. We put the ladder away...."

Now that meant they had to climb over a 6 foot privacy fence, drag the ladder up and over the fence and around the other side of the house to their window on the second floor! He then explained how the ladder wasn't quite tall enough, but was able to stand on the top rung and reach his window sill. He proceeded to climb into his room! I then tried to confirm that he went downstairs to let his brother in when he said, "No Mom! He wanted to climb the ladder too!" OK, just as I was trying to keep from passing out, he wanted to reassure me: "Don't worry, Mom. We put the ladder away...."
Okay, there is more to this story that I didn't tell, this made it all the way to a famous tv judge, because sometime during the incident, the guys glasses were broke and he was suing me and my old boyfriend for the cost of the glasses. Apparently they have case seekers who are trying to find the most ridiculous cases in small claims court.
Me and the ex was flown to LA, put in a nice hotel, had cab rides to wherever we wanted to go, I was nervous as can be and ended up only saying one word to Judge J. because my ex took over the whole thing! Whew! I thought for sure I would pee my pants with all the cameras on. The case was dropped and the whole world saw me in action choking this man, it was quite hilarious and embarassing at the same time. And I found out that I am very scared in front of cameras but boy I looked pretty good!!!! :)
