this is a true story of a dead brother that still has me in fits of laughter

i used to work with my younger brother Casey , he was always late knowing full well I'd get the job started and he could just stroll in after rush hour had ended ,without a care in the world

on this particular day it was a high roof needing a very heavy ladder as usual i had started no Casey , in the end growing impatient i put the massive heavy ladders on my shoulder i could just about carry them we were working on a steep hill next to a pony paddock surrounded by a fence

as i started up the hill my brother pulls up in his diesel van the passenger window is open he is shouting something but i cant hear him after he says it 3 times i finally step down the kerb

as i put my head in the window the roof bar on his ladder rack hits me right between the eyes i stagger back only to trip backwards on the kerb and then falling through the fence down a bank laying winded on my back on top of the broken fence i open my eyes to see the ladders fall smack on my head then blackness i come round and no offence to the elderly here an old woman with 2 inch long grey whiskers was snogging me it was like a nightmare then i hear loads of screeching followed by a crash i struggle to my feet and go to investigate i get to my brothers van and it has smashed through a wall and was ruined i look inside he is in total fits of laughter through sobbing laughter he told me that the old lady had seen me go through the fence and get knocked out she then took out her teeth and proceeded to give me the kiss of life and the look of horror on my face as i come to with this woman snogging me was too much for him to take he just collapsed rolled down the hill and even though we were both in heaps of trouble with an irate house holder with a smashed in wall shouting he still could not stop laughing , then i started to laugh hysterically the more the guy shouted the funnier it got even when the police turned up we still could not stop laughing

so guys please let me hear the storys of your departed loved ones i will try to picture them laughing and together we will keep their good memories alive

Awww

My gran on my dads side... very hungarian little old lady, she was cute as a button, she has long been gone... but one of the things I always will laugh about regarding her is her love of

WWF or sorry now WWE, Wrestling.... she loved to watch it.

Gran was a prim and proper lovely little old woman, grey hair, tiny, dressed like a conservative little old woman.

She would watch wrestling and when some spectacular move happened or a wrestler got tossed about or drew blood this little proper lady would suddenly bust out with a very loud

GEZUZ KRISTE and then go back to calmly watching Wrestling. It was completely out of character but oh so funny.

Cute story Minks.

I will never EVER forget my grandfather, he was my dads dad. The one thing i will never EVER forget was when I was maybe 13 years old. I was learning how to play piano and after my time was up for lessons our teacher(who had other children she was teaching) had a rehearsal at her house. My grandfather showed up to our house before hand with my grandmother. I was so shocked as soon as they walked in the house, my grampa had forgotten to put in his false teeth. They lived to far away to go home and get them so he came to the rehearsal without his teeth. Now Grampa wasnt the quiet type. People were always looking at him and noticing him, he had something to say about EVERYTHING. I was sooooo embarressed but now I can do snothing but laugh.

I will also never forget the time when him and grama took my sister and I to a play of The Wizard Of Ozz. We went and we watched the show than afterwards as we were getting into the car he noticed that the people parked next to us were from BC. He walked up to the drivers side window which was rolled up and he knocked on it. The person sitting inside rolled the window down and grampa said "Hows beautiful British Columbia?" My younger sister and I sat in the car and hid our faces.

Grampa was awsome he used to call our house all of the time, when someone would answer the phone someone else in the family would ask who it was. Well when grampa called and someone would ask who it was, as soon as we said grampa the other person would run from the room. Grampa would keep us on the phone for hours and hours. Talking about a whole lot of nothing. I will always miss that man he still to this day puts a smile on my face. Man I have so many memories on him. I could keep going lol.

I have a funny story or 2 about my gram but she is still here so I don't think my stories would count.

aww sure they would as one day they too will be memories. Go on and share.

One day I had picked up my gram to take her shopping (she has never driven) & all- It was cold outside so I had the heater on in my car. As we were talking and driving the windows started to fog up well i turned the defrost on and told her to blow the air towards her window- Do you know she actually put her face by the vent and BLEW (with her mouth) the air at the window.. haha.. I asked her what she was doing.. She said you told me to blow the air towards the window:wah: . I said Gram the vents move.. push it towards the window.. She finally got it after I showed her. lol I was laughing so hard I had to pull over because I had tears falling down my face. I will never ever forget that. It was so funny!

These stories are all so funny and heartwarming too.

Ok I'm gonna tell ya'll a story bout my best friend from elementary school on up. She died my junior year of highschool. I had moved away but still kept in touch. She and some others were out drinking and driving and had a wreck. She was one of 4 who were killed in the accident.

We were bout 13 and lived in a town really small. I'm talking total population of 500. And that's including the cows, sheep, pigs and chickens. Ok I'm exagerating on the animals, but it was small.

We were all in 4-H and showed lambs or pigs. Well before the big show, we always had to wash and sheer our lambs. Well my best friend was in the stall next to me washing her lambs. She was squatted down behind one of her lambs really scrubbing it's rump. Well I guess the lamb had an upset stomach because it passed the loudest fart I'd ever heard from a lamb. I guess it smelled really bad too cause she fell over in the soap bucket gagging. I tryed to help her up, but I was laughing so hard. And I couldn't help but to laugh even harder when we had to explain later why her hair was covered in suds. :wah:

My Mom and I and a friend were going out one night, hitting bars, lounge's we've never been to. Mom & I never had a Mall relationship.

We walk into a dimly lit lounge, looked like it was very spacious, so we go walking in right into a wall of mirrors. I walk smack righ into it, my Mom is right behind me smack. We're all laughing so hard, look over the place was busy and everyone was looking at us, my Mom was so embarrassed, and I'm in tears laughing.

There's a semicircular booth next to us, so I scoot in, my Mom scoots in and the seat of the booth lifts up like a teeter totter - down we go, my Mom plops right on her butt and I slid down right behind her. Oh, we laughed - we laughed til we had no noise left- we pee our pants, I remember being on the floor for along time - I was rolling - our friend was dancing around crying with laughter. My Mom and I laughed about that til the day she died July 1996. Good memories.
