What was the worst (or funniest) thing you got caught doing at a meeting? (page 3)

I was only about 5 but I remember it very clearly. Our KH seating were wooden benches. They were covered with white paper that was held in place with thumbtacks. I had worked a thumbtack out and was fiddling with it when a large bottomed sister returned from the bathroom to her seat next to me. I didn't even think about. I set the tack in her seat, point up, just as she sat down. There was no immediate reaction but she began to squirm and try to get comfortable. Finally she leaned to one side and reached under and found the tack. I kept totally focused on the speaker and did not look at her even though I could see her looking at me in my peripheral vision. The moment past and I got away with it.

I was probably 13, and I wanted to prove that the fire extinguisher wouldn't go off if the pin was still in it. You can guess what happened.

More of an 'all eyes' situation:

New J-dub, first CO visit. I was right in front and had the privilege of responding in depth to one of the CO's questions during the meeting for field service. All eyes, of course, were patiently on me, even as my two-year-old son (starting right at the beginning of my comment) kept saying, "Mommy...Mommy!" trying to get my attention with his outstretched finger---HUGE, green LOOGIE on it!--as I (and the CO) kept a straightface, keeping full eye contact the entire time, and I rummaged around in vain throughout the diaper bag to find a napkin, loose baby wipe--anything!--to clean it off with.

I finally had no choice but to take it off his finger with my bare fingers and 'hold' it until after the comment was done and I could go into the back and properly dispose of it. On my way back, I could see the young, childless, thirty-something brother who used to study with us shaking his head with that screwed up face that says, "Ooh! Kids are g-r-o-s-s-s!!" [one his favorite phrases and, of course, I had to go and prove it for him...] LOL

I honestly don't know how that CO kept his face straight through that whole thing. Everyone could see it...it was plainly obvious!! LOL

I posted this on a thread a few months ago, but I thought I'd add it to this thread:

I'm sure you've all been at a typical boring meeting and started laughing uncontrollably. Well, this topic made me thing of a time we were studying the Greatest Man book. The reader was supposed to read "a manger-fed bull" but instead he said "a manager-fed bull". My husband (Little Drummer Boy) started innocently chuckling (he was picturing a young McDonald's manager being fed right into a bull's mouth)then his laugh became contagious. Within a minute, several people were desperately trying to stifle their laughter. LDB couldn't control it, and had to leave the hall. He got to the back of the hall and let out a high pitched yelp with his hand over his mouth, instantly stirring up the laughter. The book study conductor had to stop in the middle of the study to ask what was so funny. It was one of the few times we actually had fun at a meeting.

Here's another one:

When LDB and I were newly married, I tried (and failed miserably) to make a crock pot of ham and beans. It was awful!!! We came to the bookstudy hungry, because we didn't have time to make anything else. The book study conductor (who was also "of the annointed") asked how we were, so we briefly related our awful dinner story. Well, part way through the study, there was a minute where it was really quiet because we were all trying to look up a scripture or something, and a baby sitting near us in his car seat let out a HUGE bubbly fart. The bookstudy conductor laughed and said "Well put that in the crock pot!" We laughed, but no one else knew what he was talking about.

These stories are all great but I seem to be enjoying the booger ones the best. I remeber several incidences in the 2nd school in the back with the metal folding chairs. They had an amazing ability to amplify child flatulence just like a single sided megaphone.

my brothers were always excited to get the honor of folding up the metal chairs after the meetings..

think sweaty pantyhosed women in un-air conditioned kingdom hall......... one of my bros yelled EWWWW this seat has a wet spot on it!!! everyone cracked up! (cept for the woman who had been sitting there)

one time they were going thru folding them up and a woman who had her back to them didnt realize her chair was gone and BADUMP! she fell flat on her tushy.

I don't remember doing anything bad at a kh, but I do remember a funny experience.

I attended a spanish congregation in tijuana mexico. One week the po called for help from the congregation to do some upkeep on the call. My wife and I showed up to help out. The po was in the bathroom installing a new commode and assigned me to holding a wrench on a nut while he took care of something else. Anyways, he finished what he was doing and called out, "Dale vuelta!" My spanish was still a bit rusty so I just sat there, holding the wrench and mumbling, "dale vuelta? dale vuelta?" My wife, who was accostumed to my less than perfect spanish started laughing and told the po to say, "volteala." He did and I did. Dale vuelta and volteala are both ways of saying to turn something. What was so funny was that I just stood their muttering his request like a moron.

I mispronounced the word "vagina" when I had to read out a part of the programme on body parts (it was one of those explicit talks on what Christians could and could not do). I came from a very sheltered background and I swear I had never heard or seen the word before (I was about 18 at the time). An older brother told me later that I had mispronounced it. Very uncool of me and soooo embarrassing .
