I liked the Silly/ Funny things that have been said... thread so much that I decided to start one about the ridiculous things we do. I'll go first, of course.
This past Christmas I had a festive tablecloth that was a bit too long for the table, so one day my cat accidentally went to sleep on top of one end that was hanging down to the seat of a chair. Spotting a perfect opportunity for teasing my cat, I grabbed both sides of the tablecloth, attracted everyone's attention, and proceeded to pull the tablecloth out from under her, magician-style, of course with a big TA-DAAAAAAAAAH! Well, too bad that I had forgotten about the little golden confetti-pieces that I had put on the tablecloth for decoration. They went flying all over the room (as did the cat), and I felt very dorky indeed. Everybody was ROTFL, and the cat gave me one of those looks that all you cat-owners know only too well.
