Thanks, that was funny!
Bump
My brother used to pass out during Mass when we were kids.
After kneeling to stand, he would faint. My dad had to take him out to get fresh air.
This weekend we had a pumpkin on our front porch (uncarved, the carved one went mushy and got tossed). Two local utes (13 or 14 yrs) decided they were going to smash the pumpkin in the street.
Just as Ute 1 was picking up the pumpkin on my front porch, I opened the door to take my dog (OES) out. Ute 1 dropped the pumpkin and dashed off my porch, down some steps, and into the front yard. Ute 2 and I both stared at the rolling pumpkin rolling towards the steps and in the way of his escape route.
Meanwhile Ute 1 ran at full speed SMACK into a very large pine tree in our front yard, HARD. He staggered there for 5-10 secs and then dropped like a rock.
Ute 2, obviously not a Marine, finally bolted, running right over prone Ute 1.
By then my dog was going nuts from the excitement and I had to push her in the door (she is NOT a guard dog)before I went back outside
Ute 1 was still out cold in front of the tree. He was so still I thought that he might be really hurt and by then I really just wanted him to get up and run away. I simply didn't want a dead guy in my yard.
I stomped down the stairs and yelled at him "hey you" really loud. He then got to his knees, butted the tree again, and staggered off. I could not help laughing my @ss off.
Something about not interfering when your enemy is in the middle of destroying himself...
Thanks for the link.
Did I see rightly that all bride and groom fainters were men (except for one lady who tried to keep smiling. Other women fainters were few and not the bride.)
Men win the prize for the most fainting.
Why?
Fear, heat, batchelor party or what?
Apparently, the oldest and the youngest hadn't eaten all day and then had a fair amount of champaign on the way to the ceremony. About five minutes into the ceremony, the maid of honor starts to lean a bit back and forth, then more, and then her dad ran forward to catch her as she passed out. They carried her to the pew and then gave the ring to the youngest sister who became the pinch maid of honor.
Who then in turn started to pass out after five more minutes. So two of them are passed out in the pews and now the stepsister is the maid of honor. Fortunately, she hadn't had anything to drink and the wedding was able to be completed without any additional incidents.
We were all waiting for the organist to break into "Another One Bites the Dust" - and I asked the minister what would have happened if the stepsister had passed out - do you go to the mother of the bride? He replied "I don't know, I never went that deep into the lineup before!"
And of course, another cousins' video camera's batteries ran out before he could catch it all on tape, else we probably could have won ten grand on AFV.
LOL
CLASSIC!
I liked the one with the bridesmaid that came in from behind the bride and almost took her out domino style. ?jealous?
I photograph weddings, my favorite line was from a Bride just before she headed down the aisle: "If I faint, take a lot of pictures!"
It happened to one of my buds at his wedding -- in which I was one of the ushers.
In his case, I can attest that it was probably due to the late-summer Michigan heat, and *maybe* his batchelor party from the night before.
After his best man and the pastor rushed to help him, there wasn't much for the rest of us to do except stand around awkwardly in the "Fig Leaf Stance." He was OK again within 5 minutes.
Funny side story: We'd taken him out to a strip joint the night before. As he was seated onstage with a stripper mashing her chest into his face, he happened to look up at her -- AND RECOGNIZED HER AS A COWORKER FROM A PREVIOUS JOB. "Oh, Hi Tony!" she said to him.
