last week I looked up to the right of the road and a Eagle and a crow were in a fuss over something at an altitude of about 20 feet. The Eagle was then trying to gain altitude with the crow buzzing around him. The eagle finally gain some height and flew into the woods. It was something to see.
This was near Boyne Mi.

Funniest was probably the five lanes of rush hour traffic outside St Louis, all at a dead stop, while three cops and a woman in high heels were weaving in and out of the stationary cars, chasing after a very small dog who wasn't about to be caught. It was right out of Benny Hill.
A close second, also just outside of St Louis, but in IL, just across the the scale house on I-55, on the northbound side there was a car on fire. The local fire department came screaming up the shoulder, water hose trailing behind. When they reached the car, the hose had fallen completely off and was laying well behind them on the shoulder. The firemen jumped out of the firetruck and when they came around back, one looked to the other and said, "Where's the hose?!" And the other replied, "I thought you had it!" A Classic Three Stooges moment.
Some years ago a truck overturned on the Church Street overpass in downtown Nashville, spilling it's load of shampoo onto the Interstate below. During rush hour, during a thunderstorm.
Still, the most dangerous thing I've ever seen on the Interstate was on I-5 in Los Angeles, a little bitty Chinese woman driving a great big SUV. It doesn't get any scarier than that.

Agreed!
This one probably qualifies as both funny and scary!
400 northbound in Barrie Ontario at about 11pm, a silver mercedes was driving up the middle of three lanes with two people completely naked in the back making out, and as they passed a car they would slow down and purposely have the driver (who was clothed by the way) turn on the interior lights while they were beside the cars in the adjoining lanes.
Sure caused alot of swerving, LOL!

About 3 am I had an 18 wheeler ahead of me having trouble maintaining a lane. He finally got control of it and as I was passing him I looked over. The driver was kneeling between the seats, steering with his right hand and getting something out of his fridge with his left. That was scary.
That was scary.
