Real-life slapstick
Fact: 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.

Our shop window.
My boss cleans the front window everyday.
During the day we have a freezer trolley in front of the window. Strangely when customers are inside, and are looking into the front trolley. They can't quite figure out what has happen, when they lean over to grab something in it, and an invisible forcefield has smacked them in the head. This always makes us laugh, and has a number of different ways this can happen.
1. The Chinese Twin thing. Could have been mother and daughter, and probably from Thailand. Anyway both of them standing at the window, both looking into the Trolley. One leans forward bangs head on the glass says something to the other, rubbing her head. Then the other leans forward.....
2. The Poster Boy. We usually have posters displaying stuff on the window too. Bangs his head where the poster is, step back with a stunned look on his face. See the gap in between the poster and the trolley and aims for that....dong.
3. The Multiple Offender (TMO). As the title says, he's hit the window more than once. (As in every time). This is his best. TMO looked around and came to the counter to be served. I stepped up to serve him.
TMO "I want..."
Me "That's in that trolley in the front"
TMO turned around and storms into the window...now most of the offenders stand and bend into it, now and again they walk into it. But he was almost at running speed. His ass hit the floor. As did I when I started to laugh.
Length? 6 foot by 10 foot, and not broken once.
