* During my Highschool days, during our annual Sports Day Dry Run, we were supposed to unveil our year's Battle Cheer (which we did not have because our year was notoriously filled with slackers). But, that day was one of our team captain's birthday. Therefore, after the "3, 2, 1..." that started all Battle Cheers, out came a rousing chorus of "Happy Birthday". {{Hilarity Ensues}}.

** I can top that. In my high school physics class, our teacher knew less about physics and math than any of the students. While screwing off one day, my buddies and I found an entire cabinet full of stop watches (and another one full of slinkies, but that's another story). Said stop watches had an alarm feature. Every day for the rest of the year all 20 or so stop watches would go off simultaneously. She never found them, which is sad because we didn't even hide them

**This troper has reversed that. I concentrate best with my head down, which makes me look like I'm asleep. In one high school science class, the teacher tried the "humiliating wakeup" thing which always makes everybody laugh. He said "(Troper's name!) You still with us?" I whipped my head up and said "Yep!" The class never laughed harder.

The teacher's response caused a large amount of laughter from the class, mainly because the teacher had no idea what she had just referenced.

* Pretty much anytime a fellow classmate falls asleep in class is funny. No matter how old you are, but the kicker for this troper was, not one-but two kids fell asleep that were sitting next to each other. My high school history teacher has a reputation for 'fall asleep in his class and he will wake you up in a[[CoolAndUnusualPunishment hilarious yet humiliating way]] every time. When someone is asleep in class, we knew because all of a sudden-he would start speaking in a monotone-would either walk up to that desk slam a book on it, kick the desk, or spray them with a water bottle (while still giving the lecture in a perfect [[SarcasmMode deadpan monotone]])...however this one time, he walked to the board, grabbed on of the dry erase markers...and launched it at the two kids who were sleeping while giving the monotone lecture! Best part. The marker bounced hitting the first kid's head-and smacking into the other kid's face. [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome PERFECT AIM!]]

Reaching over next to me, she grabbed my pencil out fro my hand and erased real quick. This troper got the pencil back, but it took him about five minutes to calm down from funny attacks.

* A rather morbid [=CMoF=]: the Islamic Republic of Iran re-named Winston Churchill Boulevard in Tehran to Bobby Sands Street after the latter died in his hunger strike against the British. The funny part? This street happened to be where the British Embassy was located, which was subsequently ''forced to move across town'' to avoid having their most famous political dissident's name in the address on their official embassy letterhead. Yes, the Khomeini government may have been rigid Islamic fundamentalists, but apparently they were also capable of being total wiseasses when the occasion called for it.

* ThisTroper's high-school English-teacher decided to try a game during the last day of school: everyone got two flash cards, wrote a question on one, and the answer on another. Then, the cards were shuffled among the students. The combination that one student found:
--> Why do people go to jail?
--> To meet their one true love.

* In high school, my IB Coordinator/History teacher was introducing the class on the very first day when he was interrupted by the PA. Casually, he reaches toward the clock on the wall/PA speaker setup, which is oddly bent, fishes out a partially stripped red wire, unplugs it (stopping the announcement in the room), and carries on. Cue jaw-drops and laughter from the class. He only ever plugs it back in on student request, when a sub comes, or if an administrator is scheduled to visit... And at the beginning of the year, so he can surprise all his new students again.

* This is actual test footage of the F-22 Raptor. They're testing its ability to come out of a stall - a situation where the aircraft has absolutely no thrusting power and is essentially falling of its own accord - so it's easy to imagine how scared the pilot is. However, the short conversation at the end (or in this case halfway through the video) is just priceless.

**This reminds me of when I was younger, and my mom and I owned a male tabby who at the time was six years old and fairly large-sized. After my mom's friend's cat had kittens, we decided we'd be willing to adopt one--the tiniest, whitest, fuzziest, cutest little runt of a female Himalayan/Siamese kitten you ever saw.\\\
Not being terribly expert in owning more than one cat, we decide to start off with the direct approach and see how it goes. So we plop down the little girl kitten several feet away from the large guy tabby and hover around just in case.\\\
The tabby stares suspiciously, kind of arches his back a little bit, and growls a little threateningly. The kitten, in response, puffs up her fur '''huge''' and hisses a tiny little kitten hiss.\\\
The large, old, male tabby cat takes one look at this sight... and then ''turns and runs top speed in the opposite direction out of the room''. My mom and I were in stitches for several minutes. (The two kitties ended up getting along pretty well eventually.)

* In this troper's social studies class, me and a couple of my friends were studying World War I propaganda posters. One of the British posters had a picture of an upside-down German soldier's helmet and said "Do you want a fern basket like this?" For some reason, there was an equal sign between "fern" and "basket". Now it's an inside joke for us to say things like "I want a fern equals basket!"

We must have spent a good fifteen minutes laughing our asses off.

** A group of This Troper's friends snuck into our high school before the final day of class and attached a radio receiver to the public address system. The following morning, they made some funny announcements with a handheld radio from across the street before getting caught by the teachers. That's not the CMOF, which didn't come until later, when the electronics company hired to remove the receiver realized they couldn't do so without replacing quite a bit of equipment. The receiver is still there and periodically picks up trucker CB radio conversations from the nearby Interstate-10 Freeway, which it naturally broadcasts to the whole school. Anyone who's used a CB knows that truckers can have some rather gross conversations, and did I mention this high school is Catholic? Truly the gift that keeps on giving.
