[livejournal.com profile] cadhla's One hundred surreal things that have happened to me is immensely funny. :)

edit:
OK, I'm feeling compelled to give examples:

"I assisted in the process of enrolling a large white duck named Thatticus in the marine biology department at Diablo Valley College. I still have his student ID somewhere. Unlike many of the people involved in enrolling him, the duck graduated."

"'Seanan's been bitten, get the anti-venom' was practially the mantra of my herpitology classes. There's a reason I was heavily encouraged to change majors."

"While eating lunch in Briones State Park, a raccoon walked up, calmly picked up the second half of my sandwich, and walked away with it. It came back ten minutes later, took my grapes, and left again. It was deeply baffling. But hey, at least the raccoon got a mostly balanced meal."

Uh. Yeah. Hee!

[livejournal.com profile] fraterrisus, this one made me think of you. :)

"My cousin Davo has been on a multi-year campaign to discover what, exactly, you are not expressly forbidden to do as a County Connection bus driver. This is how we learned, for example, that technically the bus driver can bring his goats to work if he really wants to. And that nothing in the terms of 'casual Friday' actually forbids pantslessness. And that live chickens are classified not as animals, but as hats. I only wish I were making this stuff up. (I believe several of these issues have since been corrected.)"

Thank you so much for posting that - it is extremely rare for something I read on the internet to make me laugh out loud, much less spend a minute wrapped up in mirth, and I've done that three times amongst the first 10 items alone.

[livejournal.com profile] deyo has lovely memories of Briones Park, and the phrase, "But I never get poison oak."

The bus driver one makes me think of Skippy's list (http://www.skippyslist.com/skippylist.html), i.e. 200+ Things Skippy is not Allowed to do in the US Army.

(Pst, you also mean [livejournal.com profile] fraterrisus, yes?)
