Something Funny Happened on the Way to the Forum

Calling all people with humorous lives. Calling all people who have had an accidental juggling experience with eggs just after washing their kitchen floor. How about those of you who have slipped on a step and slid down an entire flight of stairs in front of gaping teenagers? Or, for the teacher in you, those of you who have sat on a table to talk to your students, only to have the table fly up and hit you in the back? Come on. We don't need comedy shows on TV. Our lives are slapstick enough. Write and tell us about the humorous incidents in your life.

Here's my first contribution:

It was a cold winter day. I had an electric heater on the table. I was teaching an eight o'clock class and I was about to leave the house. I turned my back to the heater to warm up a bit. The warmth was really pleasant, but I didn't suspect anything else. I went to school and began my first lesson of the day. As I turned around to write on the board, I heard the class erupt in laughter.
"What is it this time?" I asked my pupils. "Have you got a problem with my hairstyle?"
"No, actually we've got a problem with your jacket," one of the braver pupils said. "Maybe you should take it off and look at the back."

I did exactly that. On the back of the jacket-what used to be the back-was a huge hole. The electric heater had burnt right through the material and I hadn't even felt it!
