Maybe Funny Story
I have had many funny experiences in my life, but it seems to me that most of them are kind of you had to be there things. For example, last weekend I went with my dad and my sister down to Galveston to visit my grandmother. We went to Pleasure Pier because in the fall there's practically no one there. There's this one ride called the Iron Shark that my sister and I wanted to ride, so we dragged my dad and grandmother with us. The moment the safety bar went down, my grandmother started saying "Oh dear god, why?" The whole time we were on the ride she was screaming things like "This was a mistake!" and "What idiot built this!" The rest of us thought it was the funniest thing ever and laughed for like ten minutes, but it doesn't seem nearly as funny as it does if you were there. They took a picture of us on the ride and I think it makes it even more funny. My sister and I are laughing hysterically and my dad is screaming and my grandmother has her mouth open and appears to be shouting things.

That is fantastic. I had a similar experience on a ride called the Freak Out (which should have been a sign, but oh well). My daughter, who was about 12 at the time, and I decided to try it out. It is one of those rides that whip you around and up and down and all kinds of crazy things. I literally freaked out. We were the only ones on the ride, and the operator saw my face and stopped the ride. He was like, "Do you want to keep going?"
ReplyDelete"No," I replied weakly. When he released the safety bar and I slid out of the seat, my knees buckled and I almost fell down. It was horrible, but my daughter thought it was hilarious and still teases me about it to this day.
