4. My grandma was a hair dresser and would do the hair of dead people before funerals. Somehow it came up that she had done her dead mother’s hair before the funeral. Someone said, “That must have been really hard for you.”
My grandma just looked at them like they were dumb and said, “No, it’s easy. You only have to do the front half.”

8. As I entered the train station, I glanced at the clock and realized I’d probably missed my train by at least 10 minutes. No big deal, I was pretty sure they were every 15 or 30 minutes.
I approach the ticket kiosk and the following conversation takes place:
Him: “Yes mate?”
Me: “Return ticket to Derp please.”
Him: “3.40 please.”
Me – hands him the cash and as he prints off the tickets I say
Me: “Any idea how the long the next train will be?”
Him: -without missing a beat- “They’re usually 3 to 5 carriages.”
Me: -the cogs turn – luckily I figure out the joke in a reasonable timeframe- “LOL”
Him: “I’m so happy! I never get to use that joke!”
He was so pleased with himself. Can’t blame him really, awesome joke and delivered with superb timing.

14. I have a friend who is full of one liners that never seem to end. A few years ago, he was hanging at my apartment when his cell phone rang (it was around 2 AM). It was some girl calling him. He put her on speaker phone and they did some small talk for a bit when she asked if he wanted to come over and watch a movie. He responds with, “Shoot, if you’re calling me at this hour you better be ready to MAKE a movie.

16. I overheard a Radio Shack employee telling his coworker about a prank he pulled at a wedding the weekend before. He said that he bought a cheap cake at the supermarket on the way and during dinner he went out to his car and cut a slice. He approached the bride and groom while eating it to tell them the cake was delicious and that they made a great choice. The bride and groom were outraged, assuming he had cut their wedding cake before they got the chance to do it.

Took me a full 5 seconds before I got it.

18. One day, when I was 18 years old, I asked my father if I was a mistake:
“Dad am I a mistake?”
Without missing a beat he quipped, “A mistake? You’re not a mistake. You’re an f-ing tragedy. You can live with a mistake.” He then laughs and walks off.

21. In an elevator. Two beautiful, impeccably dressed young women get on. One is on her mobile. She ends the conversation when she sees me and we all stand there in awkward elevator silence, listening to whatever midi file was coming from the speakers.
The girl with the phone turns to her friend and says, “I know this song, but I can’t remember the name. It’s so 80s…”
The other girl, without even looking up, says instantly and dryly, “Yeah, just like your outfit.”
The first lets out a half gasp/half laugh, then there’s about a second of silence and the other girl screams, “BAM! It’s crazy up in here” and gives ME a high five.
Then other girl says, “Yeah, just like your eyebrows.” And then did the weirdest finger-snapping happy dance I’d ever seen.

24. Mother and daughter (she was probably 7 or 8) sitting on the park bench across from me eating lunch. When the daughter started picking the crusts off her sandwich her mother said, “Please eat the crust *name, its the healthiest part.
The daughter looked at her mother with teasing innocence and replied, “Please explain how the baking process makes healthy things rise to the surface of dough” and went back to eating.
I was so surprised at her I failed to process the humor for about 30 seconds, at which point I awkwardly laughed to myself. Good day at the park.

25. I heard an older gentleman of about 60 say on the phone while walking off the golf course, “I only hit two balls today, and that was when I stepped on a rake.”

28. My brother and I were in the cinema watching some second rate action movie. There was huge action scene going down and one of the enemies gets shot in the foot and immediately drops down dead. Some guy at the back decides it’s really witty to shout, WHO DIES FROM BEING SHOT IN THE FOOT DUDE COME AWN, at which point several of his friends guffaw along.
A second or two pass and my brother and I simultaneously say: ..Achilles? ONE man laughed. He was about 50, and had the most magnificent moustache I had ever seen. That was all the justification I needed.

29. I was working in some store, just stocking the shelves. A couple was standing in the next aisle but I could follow their conversation. It was kind of bugging me, because the girl had been comparing waste bins for over 30 minutes.
Clearly she was not able to decide which one she liked more. A few more minutes pass and her husband (or something) grunts: Okay, let’s take the expensive pretty one, but you’d better not hide it in some out-of-sight corner of the house and fill it with stinky crap when we get home.

30. I was in charge of running the sack race for my elementary school this year. The fourth grade was racing, and when they were done this kid walks back towards the starting line with his potato sack in his hand and says to no one in particular, “I thought I had that in the bag!”
I gave him a high five.

35. A doctor in my office who was known to be demanding, exasperating, and slightly strange gave some tasks to the receptionist and listed his instructions while walking away. As he passed my desk he finished with, “And if you have any questions, I’ll be hanging upside down from the ceiling in my office.”
