Geek, er, Flyingcurser is feeling a bit flat this morning, so I though we could try to cheer him up with a list of unintentionally funny things.

Physical Pain (someone else's).

I'm thinking, like someone walking into a lampost or something, not having a leg amputated without anaesthetic.

A smug Margaret Thatcher—is there any other kind—giving the victory sign back to front. (Anybody got a photo of that?)

This is a true story,I'm sure the lady in question wasn't trying to be funny,but....
A friend of my grandmother's who I'll call "M." bought a whistle.The next day she took it back to the store to return it. "It doesn't play," M. said. "All it does is squeak!"
The clerk told her "I think you have to cover and uncover the holes with your fingers."
