Prompted by the "Woman climbs mountain" thread on this forum, I was wondering about things which have caused posters on here to laugh despite kinda feeling they shouldn't.
I'll go first. A long time ago there was a S.African tennis player called Bob Hewitt, decent without being the world's best, a big hefty bald guy with a ferocious temper. Once at Wimbledon he slammed a ball into the crowd in disgust about something, and the camera managed to follow the flight of the ball towards a little old lady sitting halfway up one of the sides of the court. One second she was sitting there as normal, the next her legs were up in the air and her long dress was all over her seat and others on either side - basically Hewitt had knocked her over like a plastic duck on some fairground stall. I was on the floor screaming with laughter for two whole minutes.
