Come on in and share the fun. I can laugh at myself, cause some really unusual things sneak up on me. Share a story or video clip or whatever to give us all the laughs we need. Please just don't get xrated.
A couple of years ago my Dad got me to get a turtle out of the overflow pipe in the pond. Now him being an engineer, decided that we(meaning me) would use a ladder laying down with a board on it to reach the pipe. He would stand on the ladder to keep it from teetering (yeah right).Picture that funny looking bird thingy that rocked up and down into a bowl of water. Yup, after inching out onto the board and trying to reach the pipe,my dear Dad would look around to find something to help me and would step off the ladder. Remember me and step back on it. After being thouroughly drenched, I figured what the heck and just walked in the pond. Hmmmmmm the water was only shoulder deep at the pipe. Duh!!!!
Now, after looking down the pipe and seeing the turtle at the el in the pipe, I knew I had to knock the elbow off to get it out (water going out of pipe with thousands of gallons of water behind it causes great suction)I got it off and sure enough the suction pulled my ahhhh breast in the pipe   . Instead of helping, you guessed it, I was getting laughed at. Well finally got released and I guess I wasn't fast enough, the pipe grabbed my stomach. I finally got the pipe back on after getting the turtle out  but had what looked like hickies for over a week. Did I get an attagal. I got

My bowling gets me aggrevated when I miss simple shots but I have to laugh when I some how make the more difficult ones ............ go figure 
My Golf game gets me aggrevated when I hit a great drive and ruin my PAR chances with a terrible second approach shot but I have to laugh because some where some how on the 16th 17th 18th holes I will hit a "career" shot - the one that brings me back to the course everytime ....................
I can get aggrevated at myself and I can laugh at myself .......... but all in all I really enjoy being myself and if one cannot laugh at themselves then one needs to

Golf clubs are too expensive to throw into water. I just throw my partner's clubs in.

I haven't purposely thrown a club in the lake, river, what ever might have been meanandering through the course, although, several years ago, I had a head of one of my irons fly off into the water never to be found. I have played with a couple people that have literally thrown their clubs in. I have played with some hot-heads. At one time, before my heart operations, I was a pretty decent golfer, a 1 handicapper. I finished 2nd and 3rd on a couple occassions in the country tournmanet, but now I just go out and beat the ball around. I have no game anymore.  Have played since high school

Oh yes, I have always been able to laugh at myself. My most recent laugh came in the middle of the night last night. I woke up at some weird hour thinking I had to go to the bathroom. I walked straight into my walk in closet, tripped on a comforter that was on the floor, and cuddled up with it and slept until I got cold. I guess I didn't have to go to the bathroom too bad because when I woke up cold the comforter was not wet.

Not long ago, I was walking one of the dogs at the park. Now he's a cute little booger and so am I. We were jogging a little and I was thinking, "yeah, look at me and my cute dog. I'm hot. I know it." As this really nice looking guy was about to pass me (and of course I'm thinking, "mmmhmm, look at me. You know I'm cute."), I hit a rock and fell face-first. Karma will mess you UP!

OK we now know to bring old clubs if you play with Rof (not sure that sounds right and am sure there will be comments if not)
Areyou, I am sure you still have game
Oh my,Seagate
Ruth, that sounds like one of my Kodak moments
Last spring, I decided my roof needed to be cleaned off. So I pulled out my ladder, and girly girl electric blower and proceeded to get the job done. As I turned, the extension cord caught the ladder and . There I was stuck on the roof for about an hour.
Things I found out were, nobody hears you on your roof.
Noone comes to visit you while you are stuck on your roof.
All in the neighborhood must not be nosy.
And then there was dear Daddy 
He pulled up and walked to the pond. I would holler hey Dad. He would look around. Uh up here. He would look up at the trees. When he finally saw me, hmmmmmm What you doing up there? Oh nothing much. I just joined the neighborhood watch and it was my turn. Can ya help me with the ladder

I have recently retired as a Civil Servant from MCB, Camp Lejeune. Our office is mixed with both civil service employees and Marines. This happened a few years ago. One of the Marines and I were good friends and were always kidding each other about something. He was really squared away and looked great in his cammies except for the fact that for some reason both of his back pockets would not lay flat. They were always kind of flapped up. I think he said it had something to do with the fact he washed his cammies instead of having them dry cleaned to save money. It had been a topic of conversation a couple of times. One day I walked into the receptionist's office and there stood Greg at the counter with his back to me talking to the receptionist. Being the good friend that I was, I walked up behind him and started smoothing down his pockets and saying "Now honey, what have I told you about your pockets? I don't like to see them wrinkled" (I guess you've figured by now his pockets were in the general vicinity of his butt). So, this young Marine that I had never seen before turns around and says "Why thank you mam" The receptionist laughed so hard I didn't know for sure if she would live. As for me I turned a DEEP shade of red, apologized, told the guy I thought he was someone else and made a rather quick exit. It was the talk of the office for some time.
