Walking out of my Speech classroom a few weeks ago, I banged my head against the door with a very loud clang, and all the classmates laughed. It was actually pretty funny.

A clang? Do you have a metal plate in your head?
 Just playin'! You think that's bad, my poor boyfriend came home from work the other evening, and the screen door to the patio was closed, and it was twilight, without the lights on yet, so he couldn't see the screen, and yep - he went RIGHT through it, and totally destroyed the screen door, and literally kept going, my poor baby! and almost fell toppling OVER the balcony railing three stories down! He was so mad to be embarrassed, he was MAD! I couldn't crack up at him, of course, I had to rush over & make a big deal about it to make him feel better, the whole "oh, are you o. K.?" kind of thing, but I gotta say, it was hilARIOUS!!!

Ha! My brother did that once. Then he did it again througha sliding glass door. He got really buggered up though on that one, and it wasnt that funny. But the screen door was hilarious cause he got toppled over and then tangled in it.

That's what my man DID! I'm laughing right now just thinking about it; it was so freakin' funny! Because he was SO mad to be embarrased, you know? And he couldn't get up for a second, all tangled in the screen door and temporarily freaked out. It was SO freakin' funny!! I can't TELL you how hard it was for me to prevent myself from cracking up at that, but he would have really been so embarrased even more if I had. Of course I'd never want to add, as it were, insult to injury by laughing at him. but oh my GOD it was funny!

Oh, I am laughin so hard right now i'm crying, because right before my brother barged into the screen door, he was sayin things like "Well, may god strike me down if i am wrong" because he was teasing me of how a womans place is in the kitchen. HE was just teasin but still, god got him.
I think, y'know, that incident was the sole factor in me getting my faith back.

BB- Yeah, last May when my cousin got married, the priest guy officiating was SO hilarious he was like some sort of new-age kind of multi-priest, straight Northern California Berkeley type guy (my cousins and auntie all went to UC Berkeley, so it was fitting) but this guy was not supposed to be funny, obviously everyone was supposed to take him seriously, but both me & my dad were trying SO HARD not to crack up when he was speaking! It was a real struggle, let me tell you, but if I'd have cracked, oh, my family & my cousin would never have forgiven me. Oh LORD that guy was a riot!

Ha, there was this priest at my friends wedding, he was going so deadpan, most of the people were confused. He was so funny, finally he couldnt hold it HIMSELF and he had to chuckle. Then everyone let out a collective breath an figured out it was OK to laugh.
We all lost it, it was the happiest and funniest wedding i'd ever been to.

This ain't exactly an embaressing moment, but...
At my dad's friend's wedding rehersal, we were invited (had to come) so we could figure out where to set up the camera. Instead of going through all that had to be said, the priest and his wife instead said "Blah, blah blah blah. Blah blah blah."

Haha, funny, TB.
At kendo the other day, there`s a guy, who`s a third year and so we all have to respect him, but his kiai (when you scream as you attack, basically) is sooo funny. I couldn`t help laughing when my friend and I were trying to practice. I swear to you, he sound like a mix between Liu Kang from Mortal Kombat and a dying turkey. You`re right though, those times when you`re trying to hard not to laugh are the funniest. I can`t tell you how many times that has happened. I love when you laugh so hard you cry. That`s the best. I have been pretty lucky, being in a stange country as it is, and having relatively few embarrasing moments. `Course, that`s no fun... |

I always end up laughing when that sort of stuff happens to me, even if it hurts. There really isn't much else one can do when one's friends are sitting there laughing non-stop, it's either laugh along with them or be laughed at.

Hahaha, Maggie, example per excellance would be when you walked straight into the shrine's support post. That was priceless. I do believe you left a dent in it.

You know what's really embarrassing? When you're laughing about something funny with your "cool" friends, and/or in the presence of someone you'd like to give a good impression to for whatever reason, and you accidentally snort-laugh - that piglet sounding snort-laugh. ACK!! So freakin' embarrassing. It just blows the cool image right out the window, and supplants it with goofy dorkish image. Instant Dork - just add snortling laugh.

Yep, I know that very well. Fortunatly I never try to be cool, so its not a problem. Its hazardous to your health and not all that fun.

It's not even about tryna be cool, it's just that if you WANTED to give off a collected, together, cool sort of vibe around certain people, and then this snortle coame out, well you'd be screwed.
Another mondo-embarrasso moment would be accidentally letting out a tiny fart when kissing someone for the first time, now THAT would take the cake!
