I guess I am the only one who see the fuuny in this...perhaps this is what is called "too much information?"
Oh well...It's a funny story in our house.
Anyone else have a funny story that came about in a scary situation?

not tmi...pics included with the post...i thought it was funny! as for me... it's emabarressing but when i was about 12 i had a really bad bloody nose...couldn't get it to stop and my mom was on the phone with the hospital...it was right after my "college for kids" camp and we had just learned about egyptians and mummies....ANYWAYS...my mom came back in teh bathroom and asked me to remove the pressure and see if it had stopped bleeding...when i did (warning...this is a little gross) a HUGE clot started passing... i FREAKED b/c i thought it was my brain coming through my nose!!!!! my family has never let me live this one down!

i have been thru an earthquake..that's not funny but reacting instinctively for you kids...and being without clothes is kinda funny. glad your kids saw the humor in a scary situation!

#2...i'm a school nurse and on a daily basis i see bloody noses and yes, it does look like an alien or something coming out of the nose when it is starting to clot...so gross!

ROTFLMAO! I live near San Francisco, so I get the fact that we don't always think when the ground starts shaking. We actually had a medium sized one here a couple of weeks ago...my son decided to dive INTO the table. I had to nicely remind him that he was supposed to dive UNDER the table!

I think it is really funny. I can't think of any funny stories right now, but that one is good.

very funny...blood clot, thinking it's your brain.
and running INTO the talble...during our earthquake here, the only injurie was a guy who jumped off his balcony and broke his leg. He said he thought the house was going to fall on him...so he jumped.

I have a funny one about being naked in an emergency situation, but I am not going to say it here!

Come on, we're all friends here mombasa

LOL, It was a fire and I was in the shower. Timing was pretty bad and it was cold.

very nice mombasa...I'm laughing...very cold...hehe

It was not at the time, now I can laugh about it. Oh well, one of lifes pleasures. Watching the four-wheelers catch fire naked in the garage. This ought to be a new thread.

I have a funny one,, living alone for the first time in my life.. I was a tad paranoid, so I had an alarm system installed. I forgot and set the darn thing off letting the dogs out the next morning. I forgot that the alarm company would call to verify that all was ok.. I went and got in the shower. Next thing I know through the running shower I hear someone banging on my front door,, I grab the closest towel I could and went to the door. It of course was the police. I told them I was fine. They would not take that answer through the door. I opened the door just a crack to the the officer see that I was fine. Stuck my head out of the door,, still had shampoo in my hair. That still was not good enough, they had to gain access and search the house.. the towel I had grabbed was the hand towel... I had cops crawling all over my house, I was hiding or trying to hide behind the front door. When they got through with their search, that is when I noticed that one of the officers was my neighbor! ;-) Needless to say I never lived that down!

Jerri, that was a good one. This should be another thread.
