These are all hilarious. I would’ve voted for Juan too but they are all funny =).

Would have loved to have submiited a story of mine, but there’s no way it could be printed. I was naked and it involved impressing a girl using “flash paper” (magicians use it for fire effects). I was just fortunate I was still able to have children…

When were the entries for this? I had a great story about almost starting a nuclear war – that I can almost sort of talk about.

I’d vote for Matthew C, but I did hear about a guy intending to fly from Los Angeles to Oakland who mistakenly got on a plane to Auckland (New Zealand).

Oh man I cannot believe I am exposing myself to this – but I figured after reading some of these mine might fit right in – anyways here it goes…..
my 7 yr old was playing a baseball game and myself and my other son who was 5 at the time were sitting in the front row in the bleachers, my 5 yr old proceeded to look into my face and said (quite loudly!) “Mom, your mustache is coming in REAL GOOD!” – then there was dead silence and then and eruption of laughter all around me – As I proceeded to just look at him and be silent as he asked if I was gonna use daddy’s razor – needless to say I never turned around and just walk away with my children at the end of the game with the giggles right behind me.

The Charleston one reminds me of a story I heard recently – my brother’s roommate takes the cake when it comes to booking airline tickets. One time he was booking a flight to visit his then-girlfriend in England, but booked the ticket to London, Ontario instead. This story came to light when I asked why he was driving to Florida from Illinois for Thanksgiving – he had booked his flight home for the wrong week and couldn’t get a flight for the right week by the time he realized it! I’m pretty sure he’s not allowed to book travel by himself anymore…

Either Juan or Matthew C. should have won. Your choice was not only lame, the reason was lamer. Bottom line, it’s your show and you get to pick.

I too wish I had known about this contest, I have a story about my singular month from hell in college. True it would loose something in writing it, but the short story is; caught by the ‘rents, had my first joint, had throat surgery, granddad past away, arrested, court, fire show, breathing fire indoors on stage, face ignited, post flambe monologue, ride to the ER, call ‘rents to fax insurance card, admit that I have been breathing fire for the last 3 months, Horse pill, facial salve, free drinks, and a replay of the event from 4 different angles.

And all before my 21st B-day.
