....anyone has ever said to you, personally?
Several years ago, my ex-husband noticed a lump in my left breast. I had it examined by my GP, who said, yep that's a lump, better see a specialist. So I went to this doc who did nothing but breast care. He is the local breast cancer guru. He's from Brooklyn, NY and has a very heavy Brooklyn accent.
When he was showing me how to do a breast self-exam, he explained the motion, following it up with.... (OMG this still makes me laugh - think Brooklyn accent)
"Think of it THIS way. You're not a rehCOON lookin' for an AHRANGE in a GAHbage can."
I still giggle out loud. There I was, confirmed with a tumor, laying on my back with some strange dude's hands on my tits, and I busted up laughing out loud. It's a good thing I didn't drink something, because it would have come out my nose. He was so funny.
(the tumor was benign)
Has anyone ever said something to you that you just never forgot? I have one more, but I want to hear all yours, first.

Re: What's the funniest thing....
Tue, April 29, 2008 - 5:05 AMI was working as a short order cook at a little place in college and basically, I was one of the only two men who worked there. The rest of the staff were either high school/college aged women or much older women who had been doing this kind of work all their lives. (and I might add, were the dirtiest minded ladies too...which made them really fun to work with)
Anyway, I was working with their older lady named Shirley on busy Friday night and we were getting swamped. I was cooking and Shirley was waiting on tables. In the middle of this busy rush, as Shirley is bringing another order back to me, she looks at me and says "I haven't had this much fun since grandma got her tit caught in the ringer!"
I just lost it laughing and asked her what the hell that meant to which she told me the story of how her grandmother actually got her breast caught in an old ringer washing machine. "And it was black and blue for a month", she added.
I swear that still cracks me up to this day (15+ years later).

Re: What's the funniest thing....
Tue, April 29, 2008 - 10:49 AMFirst job out of college was doing reservations for a fancy boutique hotel in Boston. I had this British dude, that was drunk or something, trying to convince me that we weren't sold out for Marathon weekend and that we had a room for him for a bachelor party.
I kept telling him A) we don't do bachelor parties and B) we were completely sold out.
The more we kept going in the same idiotic circle, the more belligerent he got. I politely told him that there was nothing more I could do for him and that I was going to hang up the phone. He called back and asked again for a room, not realizing I was the same person, and we start all over again. This time he calls me a bitch, then he calls me a fucking c*nt and demands to talk to my manager. That was my last straw. I asked him to hold and a coworker walks by, I ask her if she can pretend to be my manager cause I have this "fucking asshole prick on the line that doesn't understand I'm the reservation mananger."
All of the sudden I hear over the speaker phone in British accent: "What? I can bloody fuckin' hear you!!!"
Whoops I hit the speaker button, not the hold button.
Sends me into a fit of giggles still 5 years later.

Tue, April 29, 2008 - 6:20 PMActually not me but my sister...
My sister moved to town and was living with me and my ex and needed to go to the gyno so I suggested mine. He was a terrific doctor and had delivered my daughter. So we all went down because it was about 8 months since I had my daughter and thought he would want to see her. My sister went in to his office. He explained what they would do and all prior to the exam. In there she told him she was my sister and that Kayley and I were outside the office waiting in the waiting room. He told her he saw the resemblance and then came out to see us as my sister prepped for her exam.
He went into the exam room with my sister in full stirrups mode. He sat down to examine her and said "NOW I see the resemblance!" She busted out laughing and the nurse had no idea why....:) That still cracks me up he said that! -

Re: What's the funniest thing....
Sat, May 3, 2008 - 6:50 PMThis is a true religious story.
We used to be Roman catholics and used to keep holy water in bottles to sprinkle in case of danger.
One night, many years ago there was a terrible elctrical storm in Montréal and the lights went out.
Mme Tremblay was very afraid and sent her husband to fetch the holy water bottle in the kitchen to sprinkle liberally as to bless the danger away. Mr. Tremblay did so and vigorously sprinkled and blessed the appartment.
The next morning, the couple awoke to a scene of ghastly murder. There was blood everywhere. On the curtains, on the sofa, in the windows, you name it. there was blood everywhere.
It was horrible. They just lay terrified in their bed.
After a long time and after cautious closer inspection, however, the blood turned out the tomatoey consistency of ketchup. In his hurry, Mr Tremblay had seized the real ketchup bottle - and not the other one that had been filled with holy water and fitted with a sprinkling top - and he had liberally sprinkled ketchup everywhere.
The dry cleaning bill was horrendous. -

Re: What's the funniest thing....
Sat, May 3, 2008 - 7:45 PMI did not witness the ketchup blessings myself but I was told that it was a real story and that the couple had a heavy dry cleaner's bill as it had been liberally "sprinkled" all over as holy water.
I think that the story is genuine because people used to keep their holy water in a ketchup bottle with a sprinkling top (as for vinegar). In a power outage, one could easily reach for the wrong bottle. And thay used to sprinkle that holy water like mad....( I watched that as a child). -

Re: What's the funniest thing....
Mon, May 5, 2008 - 4:47 AMThis is a true family story...no funny thing said...but a funny event, anyway....
My mom, dad, sister and myself are all at our family lake home in Wisconsin. It is a dome, and we're there late in summer, when thunderstorms can come up quickly out of nowhere.
It is a summer night. The skylight at the top of the dome is open for air circulation. A storm comes in the early AM...maybe 3 or 4 in the morning. My dad wakes up and hears it, so he goes up the stairs, then up the iron spiral staircase to the loft of the dome, and begins cranking the handle so rain does not come in the top.
At this precise moment, lightning strikes about 50-100 yards away, hitting a tree. The thunder is instantaneous it is so near.
My father lets out this yelp, and everyone rushes to see that he's fine...just totally freaked out. Dad thought he was dead for sure.
