Real-life slapstickFact: When someone walks into a lamp-post it makes a very satisfying and hugely hilarious "Ding!" noise. However, it is not quite so funny when the post is in the middle of town and you are the victim. Tell us about hilarious prat-falls.
Thanks to Bob Todd for the suggestion

Glazed and confused.I once replaced a pane of glass that had cracked in the fanlight above the garage door.
I'd got most of the job done, and had spent fifteen minutes smoothing off the putty beautifully, finishing with a final flourish. I was so pleased with my workmanship that I took a step backwards to admire the effect.
Unfortunately I'd forgotten that the fanlight was ten feet up the wall, and that consequently I was standing up a ladder. The resulting crash to the ground wasn't so much painful as incredibly surprising. I could hear hysterical laughter coming from my wife, so I quite quickly gathered I wasn't dead, which is the main thing I suppose.
