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

Not sure if this is slapstick exactlybut when I was 10 or 11, my mum saw the postman at the end of our drive, and asked me to run and give him a letter, as he must have been doing the last collection.
He was on a bike and hadn't seen me, and just as I got to him, he cycled off. So I ran after him, he'd stop for a bit, but just as I had nearly caught him, he cycled off again. This happened four or five times.
I eventually caught up with him about a mile up the road, crying and purple from the exercise. Bent over double, I managed between tearful gasps for air that I had a letter for him, and handed it over.
He said "OK thanks", and stuck it in the post box.
