    The most hilarious and unexpected sight on an abandoned road

    Discussion in 'Plot Development' started by Lifeline, Mar 12, 2017.

    Hey there,

    I'm brainstorming about what would be the most unexpected sight you could see on an abandoned road in the middle of nowhere. Imagine you're under tight time constraints, have to be at a certain time at a certain place - and there you are: you see something so unexpected that you just have to stop and take a look.

    What would it be?

    PS: Please no one mention a gorilla - I already discarded this idea for good and valid reasons :D

    My first thought was something like this guy, though you might not actually want to stop for him.

    Nice :D I might snap a picture in passing, but stopping? I don't know I'd be brave enough :rolleyes:

    I would say perhaps they see what they think is a disaster but then find out that it's all fake. I'm not sure whether to say it's someone's idea of a prank or it turns out to be a set of some kind.

    Let's say that you have a suspicion that anything you encounter would be designed to slow you down and miss your deadline ;)

    How about a helicopter with its rotors still spinning a bit? It happened to me before. I stopped (well, my dad did, I was just a kid at the time, but still).

    A helicopter would presuppose that there's a reason it landed. And if you are suspicious.. well I don't think I'd stop. But maybe a balloon with a wedding party?? Hm. This is a distinct possibility :)

    Thanks!

    A partly opened suitcase with dollars spilling out.

    ETA Oh, that's not particularly hilarious.

    Human or animal? I saw a couple of bears copulating on the side of the road this summer, and, brother, that was some shit you cannot unsee!

    Someone dressed as chewie and somone dressed as vader having a lightsaber fight. Except they only have the top half of their costumes on and the bottom half consists of polka-dotted boxers for vader and a leopard skin banana hammock for chewie.

    A friend drove me home one evening and as we got out of the car in front of my apartment (intent on going straight into the building) we were accosted by a crying woman naked from the waist up. My friend—a woman, BTW—threw her sweater around the woman's shoulders and held her.

    EDIT: Oops! I missed the word 'hilarious' in the original post. That was not funny; not a bit.

    A dead elephant. Especially unexpected when on a continent where they don't naturally exist.

    That'd be a what the crap kind of thing, but if you find it funny, I'm concerned.

    A guy juggling eggs with a sign saying "Free breakfast if you catch an egg without breaking!" There's a cute puppy bouncing around wanting to catch said eggs as well.

    I think it'd make more sense if the breakfast is served with the eggs which broke :D
