This is a question Real Life Slapstick II

Have you witnessed someone walking into a lamp-post? A food fight? Someone clonked round the face with a frying pan? All your favourite moments please.

You know that the reason they used banana skins in those silent movies was because they weren't allowed to use what most people really slipped on back then?
ie: Horse shit.

I hate to admit this, but I learned it from watching a Paul 'more fucking miserable than Morrissey' Merton programme.
I think it was actually about Fatty Arbuckle and how he totally didn't rape that starlet to death (even though he did). But yeah, apparently true.
