This is a question 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.

Thanks to Bob Todd for the suggestion

Alumin*i*um
Many years ago we were working on a project to reduce the amount of Aluminium foil in packaging. Without wanting to get too Geeky, Al-foil is used as both an oxygen barrier and a light barrier in some "cardboard" packages, and is pretty much essential if your fruit juice is going to stay un-tainted for months on a shelf.

Dead end after dead end. Nowhere could we find a solution or Al-alternative. The lifetime of Al-foil in packages was plaguing us with poor results and options. The Al-Life project was in trouble and we hated it. Regular emails zipped backwards and forwards between those of us involved, until someone forwarded it to a friend in management, and it was copied to big boss.

The E-mail that came though filled us with a sense of dread.
