Record-breaking moments!!!

Record-breaking moments!!!

Everyone has these.  What are everyone's funniest, most embarrassing, grossest, stupidest, silliest, worst, happiest, and best moments in their life?
Okay, here's one:
Halloween.  My friends (*coughnotanymorecough*) Danny and Annika (pen names that are close to their real names) are are sitting at a table with me.  We just came back from Trick-or-Treating.  Annika fiddles with a vegetable on her plate and says, "This is too squishy."  Danny and I burst out laughing for no apparent reason.  Annika stares blankly at us.  We guffaw and can't stop.  Annika rolls her eyes.  Clair (pen name) imitates us laughing.  We laugh even louder.  We try to sputter to Annika that we're sorry, that we're not making fun of her, but we can't.  It just sounds like, "We-wwe-re . . S-sorr-s-fff!!!!  W-we-Mfff!!  Hooo!!" And Danny falls off her chair with tears in her eyes.  Annika was sighing and muttering.  BUT WE STILL COULD NOT STOP!!!  
We felt pretty stupid after that.

One pretty embarrasing moment:

We were eating dinner and Dad cracked a joke. Unfortunately, I had just taken a big gulp of water. I started to laugh, but couldn't because I was too busy choking on the water. So I tried to cough, but I couldn't because I was too busy laughing. I ended up just throwing up on my plate. Money mouth

The silliest and funniest was probably when my family went out to dinner one night. This guy behind us kept snorting and blowing his nose (it was seriously an abnoramal honking noise) while my family and I silently laughed our heads off, failing to keep a straight face. I was choking on my food in a useless effort not to laugh and my sister kept kicking me really hard which made it even funnier. And to make matters worse, America's Funniest Home videos was playing on TV. Finally, I took a sip of grapefruit to calm myself when this old guy snorted again and I spewed it all over the table, food, and my mom and sister. The guy left shortly afterwards, probably cause of me. ;)

Also, when I was little, I was trying to blow up a balloon. It was so hard to blow, that I blew so hard, I passed out. I opened my eyes, I was on the floor, with my cheek to the floor. There was a throbbing pain in my head where I had hit. I'm not sure how long I was out. I was once tubing from a boat and this really weird thing happens sometimes where you don't remember falling off. Well, it happened to me when my hands were slipping. The next thing I know, my hair's in my face and I don't know if I'm under the water, or above it. I looked up to see the boat turning around to come get me. I was told I did a backflip off the back of the tube after letting go (I let go?)

:D:):D Hee, hee!!

Recently, my family and I went tubing (is it a "CanadianThing"?).  To get back up the slopes, there's this funny contraption where you have to hook up your inner tube to a metal thingy and get dragged back up.  Well, last time, I did three really dumb things in a row:
1.  I hooked up my tube too fast and then tried to sit down on it.  But my tube was already too far to reach, and I fell down hard on the snow.
2.  I (or so my uncle says) looked around wildly and, upon realizing what had happened, started racing up the slope to get my tube.
3.  I reached the tube, and then, relieved, sat down in it.  Then it unhooked and started sliding all the way down, down, down the slope.
This all took place in a period of about ten seconds.  There was total silence for a bit.  Then everyone started snickering and giggling madly.  Ugh.  Terrible. :P

There's 2 kinds of tubing: water tubing and snow tubing. When you water tube, you sit in a round float (normally it's round) shaped like a doughnut and are pulled by a boat. My dad turns really sharply and goes really fast to try to throw us off. Then snow tubing is...well, you did it, so you know what it is. I snow tubed for the first time last week in Colorado.

Yeah, I know about water tubing. On Mercer Lake (pen name! Heh heh heh . . . a pen name for a lake!?!), near my house, there are some water tubers (?!?).
