Anyway, this is the topic to share various 'Stories' that you've heard/read(And yes, they may involve you
).Hot Dogs
I've got a soft spot for reptilian creatures. Snakes, Crocodiles, Komodo Dragons, you name it. So, when I was seven, I was very rebelious toward "Gator Tail", a dish they sometimes serve at various restaurants. So my mom told me: "Look, they didn't go out and kill the Gator. Sometimes they go out on the streets and get hit by cars, so what they do is: They take the gator so that it doesn't go to waste." That worked and I finally tried the Gator Tail(Yummy!).
Some time after that, my mom went to cook Hot Dogs on the grill. Not knowing any better, I said to her: I hope the dog was already dead..
Immaculate Conception
Sorry if this causes any offence to anyone.
"What the heck does that mean?" I inquired during the viewing of LOST, Season 1, Episode 19, 'Deus Ex Machina' when John Locke's mother tells him that he has no father and that he was "immaculately conceived."
"It means becoming pregnent without actually.." Without any other details, I nodded my head in understanding. "It's only happened once, and that was with Jesus Christ."
"Jesus Christ was Pregnant!?"
^- As I said, I am VERY sorry if this causes any offence to anyone. It was purely a misunderstanding, but I kinda thought it would have been amusing to share..
An Adoring Fan
Medieval Times, Kissimmee, Florida
After the show was over and everyone was finished eating, a little girl was wandering around and had the the various Knights sign an autograph for her. Unfortunately, she was unable to reach the Green Knight in time..
"Ma'am," Inquired one of the 'Maids' that worked at the Show/Restaurant. "I think you're Daughter just followed one of the Knight's into the dressing room."
"WHAT!?"
Luckily, the mom arrived in time to stop the kid from advancing any further. Darn dads..
I'm not stupid!
Medieval Times, Kissimmee, Florida
After the show was over, I was sitting over at a table near the bar area, having a few Non-Alcoholic Drinks before it was time to head back to the hotel. Hearing a commotion not too far away, I turned my head to see what was going on:
"Make sure you go into the boy's room."
"I know where to go, I'm not stupid!" Growled a young man(I don't remember what age he was. 12, 14 at the most.) at his parents. Getting up, he proceeded to walk straight into the ladies room..
What do you mean it's not for kids?
Brought to you by: TV Tropes.
Apparently there has been quite the commotion when various movies came out at the theaters.
Whenever parents(though not all) see trailers for a Superhero Movie, in this case, Watchmen they assume: Oh! Superhero Movie! We should take our kids to the Theaters to see it!
Quite alot of parents left the theater in a huff when they saw a man getting the living daylights beaten out of him in the opening scene. Not to mention Dr. Manhattan.. And two of the main stars "Doing it" in the one scene..
Another case is Pan's Labyrinth, another movie where Parents took their kids to see it at the theaters, assuming that the movie was like Narnia thanks to the Trailer. Unfortunately, Parents did not perdict that the movie was..
A: Dubbed in Spanish with English Subtitles
B: Quite alot of blood and scary imagery
C: The ending is a real tear-jerker..
So, what kind of Odd/Funny Stories do you have to share?
