All kinds of noise. I felt sorry for the cat on the bottom as she was getting her neck bit and the other cat (to me was hurting her) So I put my books down and pulled the cat on top off. Boy was he mad. I got bit and scratched. Like Les Lesman, I honestly didn;t know they were mating. DAH

(38,561 posts)whom had extreme admiration. I would go to his big lecture classes and hang on every word. I sat way up on the second tier, maybe four or five seats in.
One day he held up a book so we could see from whom he was quoting. It fell on the floor, right out of his hand as he was holdiing it up.
This struck me as extremely funny and I started laughing, trying to conceal my face inside the cover of my coat because I didn't want to embarrass myself (or him).
I couldn't do it, so with my coat covering my face, I scrambled up the stairs to the outside landing and collapsed onto a bench in a heap of laughter. Several other students thought there was something wrong--was I sick?-- so they followed me and when they saw I was laughing, they started laughing, too. Nobody could stop.
It took several days for me to stop laughing at this so that I could go to his office and apologize. Literally, I tried to go to his office that very day and as I approached it, the image of the book dropping came to mind and I started laughing again. I knew I wasn't capable of apologizing that particular day. Finally, I was able to do so on the third day.

(2,598 posts)involving me that made me laugh and still do. Ok, two, and they happened long ago: First, while at college, soon-to-be husband and I were riding our bikes around the Oval at OSU. There was a blind guy walking on the sidewalk using a white cane. While staring at him, I ran right into one of those raised parking space rows of concrete. Made a complete fool of myself. Instant karma. Also, again while in my 20s, we were shopping for produce. I had picked up a green bell pepper and was talking and gesturing wildly and ended up accidentally hurling the pepper down the row of produce, where it ultimately struck a shopper. Maybe you had to be there. Oh, also while body surfing in the Atlantic once, I crashed right into an old lady standing knee-deep in the water. Still makes me laugh to remember (she was fine). Im pretty much a goof.

(27,737 posts)Actually, it was, and I had to stifle my chuckles to keep from getting my azz kicked.
Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth (ca 1982), I decided that a hat would enhance my persona. It did, but not how Id hoped. I fashioned a wide-brimmed hat from felt and turned it over to a lady who steamed it into a shape not unlike that chapeau worn by Indiana Jones. Not that I was trying to copy him or anything. Anyway, it had a three-cornered indentation on top. A deep one, which is important later on. I also unwisely treated this hat with lanolin, ensuring that I gave off the aroma of wet sheep wherever I went.
I decided - again, unwisely - to wear this hat on a first date with a wild child. It was late November and raining buckets, so I chose the most effective head covering I had. We went to a dive bar that also served food at tables. On the way from the parking lot, the crown of the hat filled with rain water - probably about a pint. We walked in and she saw a bunch of her drunken friends at a large table. We were standing alongside and the woman seated beside me rurned my direction, revealing a vast expanse of exposed cleavage. Being a pig, I immediately averted my gaze downward, spilling the contents of my hat directly down her bosom.
Her blood-curdling scream brought an eerie hush to the whole place and every eye was turned toward me. I had to perform to most convincing apology of my life in that moment. Suffice to say, there was no second date.
