A Humorous Story – A Personal Account

Humor is often used as an escape from life’s difficulties. I have a funny story from my own life that I would like to share. It happened to me a few years ago when I was in college. It was the first semester of my freshman year and I was attending a large lecture class.

The professor had a reputation for being a bit eccentric, but I never expected what happened in class one day. In the middle of a lecture, the professor stopped talking and pulled out a bright yellow rubber chicken. He proceeded to make it do flips and tricks across the podium as the entire class watched in stunned silence.

The professor then put the chicken away and continued his lecture as if nothing had happened. I was in disbelief but I couldn’t help but laugh along with the rest of the class. It was definitely the most unexpected moment I had experienced in college. After the class, my friends and I discussed what had happened, trying to make sense of it.

We never did figure out why the professor had brought the rubber chicken to class that day. To this day, it remains a mystery, but it is definitely a memory that I will never forget. It was a funny and surreal moment that has become a shared experience among everyone who was in the class that day.



Humor can be a great way to break the tension of everyday life. I will always remember the surprise of seeing the professor pull out a rubber chicken during a lecture. It was an unexpected and humorous moment that I will always remember.
