i need to lighten up.... - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

clancy · 10-09-2003, 04:32 PM

There has been so much anxiety and stuff in all our lifes lately.... could we please have a fun thread?

I was lookin at the best of S.R and under the' most embarrasing stories' there were some things that really made me laugh.Im only just re discovering laughing, its lovely!

Does anyone have a funny/embarassing anecdote to post? to make me laugh, i need to laugh.

Ive got a favorite to start of with. A very,very posh friend of mine(conected to minor royalty apparently) was going out with an american girl, marlene, who he met at uni. On hugh's 21 first birthday his family thew this enormous ball for him, black tie, the kind where every guest is announced as they arrive. Midway thru the ball Marlene decided she needed to pee. She went up to the butler,and asked where the 'rest room' was. In english english the phrase rest room is unknown, we just call it the toilet!

The butler directed her to a room with chairs, sinks and stuff but no toilets. Marlene was to embarased to ask again, so she decided to pee in the sink!

Unfortunately, Marlene was no light weight and as she was perched on the sink peeing it came off the wall,and both it and marlene fell to the floor.Poor Marlene got knocked unconcious! She was found with her knickers round her ankles amid the remains of the sink.

Fortunately Marlene recovered, and was invited back (after awhile!) to hugh's country house for the weekend . On arrival she plonked herself down on a comfy looking white cushion. It was the families Bichon frise (a small dog!) She killed it.

It was the end on their relationship.

I nearly died laughing when i heard the story,but we brits have a terrible black humor! maybe you wont think its funny!

Its not really,..but...snort.....!

clancy,giggling evily.

OMG I am totally thinking that is funny! Poor dog! Poor girl really. Talk about some signs you may not want to persue this relationship! LOL thanks for that story!

Paulie · 10-09-2003, 06:51 PM

No she didn't....OMG! killed the dog!

zoomer · 10-09-2003, 09:59 PM

LOL, that was very funny! I love black humor and the brits have the best! My poor mom died just last june. I told my husband that I sang her a lulla bye and she went to sleep forever. he said "that's it you are never going to sing to me or the kids again"! I was all weepy when I told him,but he just made me laugh! Although now I'm very thoughtful when I sing to my kids and try to keep the lulla bye I sang for my mom out of my list! We also had my mom creamated and when we got her box of ashes we took her on a road trip! I sat int eh back with her and buckled her up. We went to the casino in tahoe and some guy was hitting on me. I thin started to talk about how this was my mom's last trip to the lake (tahoe). he asked where she was. I laughed and said she was bucked up in the back seat in her box. "would you like to meet her". LOl! my brothers had a grand time laughing at that one!

clancy · 10-10-2003, 11:18 AM

Oh zoomer, you should have introduced them!

clancy · 10-10-2003, 11:30 AM

Oh yeah, i remember another really embarrasing incident.....I was in a very heated meeting at work,we were all sitting around in a circle,(it was supposed to free up speech,with the table missing) and was very passionately putting my point across. I thought it was a very serious point indeed(it was!) so I couldn't understand why a few them....were smirking...?

A moment later i noticed them...yesterdays panties poking out of the leg of my smart black pants!

Paulie · 10-10-2003, 11:35 AM

LMAO -

One time when my SO was living with his sister before we got our house. I went to see him and his truck was parked in front of a house with a little porch on it. Now his sisters house did not have porch, but in the track homes in my area every couple of house is the same model. So everything else looked the same except this little front porch. I ignored my instincts and thought she must have put a porch on her house. Knocked on the door...wrong house, they knew me as soon as they opened the door, the next day the whole neighborhood knew I knocked on the wrong door.

How about flunking puppy training class...yep did that two weeks ago - embarassing.

I am always doing things like opening the cupboard and hittig myself in the head and clumsy things like that...I entertain my step kids constantly - LOL!

Oh I just thought of another one. I use dto keep my sugar and salt and stuff in baggies (long story wy) and one day I was making Divinity for xmas. Well I used salt instead of sugar, did not try one myself, a friend came in, popped one in her mouth and almost through up!!! Pure salt!!!

zoomer · 10-10-2003, 03:19 PM

LOL you guys! One time I was visiting a mommys group and just me and the mother who was holding it showed up. (I do think iv told this story before) any we started talking about Exs and she told me who ex use to beat her. So one day she baked him brownies and she put a ton of ex lax in them. She said he s-h-i-t his brains out for a couple of days and she just laughed and laughed. After she told me this story it was snack time. She has baked cup cakes and asked if me and my kids wanted any. Ha, I said"gee it's almost lunch time we better not"! Her not knowing why I said no,but after she told me her story there was no way I was going to eat anything she baked! LOL!!! I do admire her spunk,but............

DolphinBlue · 10-10-2003, 06:01 PM

Clancy, that story had me cringing lol

I walked for half a mile or so along the footpath of a busy main road at peak hour with a split up the back of my skirt that was almost all the way up to the waist. Of course I was wearing my big baggy undies, you know the "comfy" ones.

Once I returned some videos and came back to my boyfriend's car, started chatting away and wondered why we weren't going anywhere. Until I looked at my boyfriend, who was not my boyfriend but a complete stranger staring at me in disbelief lol and it was not my boyfriend's car either. We laughed about it though.
