**What Happened:** One sunny Saturday, my buddy Mike decided he would finally conquer his fear of asking out Jessica, the girl he’d been crushing on for ages. With a pep talk from my overenthusiastic self, he strutted over to her while I hid behind a conveniently placed shrub, ready to provide moral support—or at least some comedic relief. As he approached her, he took a deep breath, practicing his best suave look, only to trip over the hose in her front yard, sending him sprawling into a bush.
**Why It’s Funny:** Just as he fell, he dramatically called out, “Ay Ay ….Ay!,” which startled the neighborhood dogs into a frenzy, barking like his unexpected tumble triggered a canine core alarm. Jessica, trying to contain her laughter, helped him up, and instead of a smooth invitation, they ended up sharing a laugh—though Mike did gain an entirely new reputation as the “Bush Bandit.” Who knew that sometimes, taking a tumble could lead to a winning heart?
