Favorite that made me belly laugh, "Cat installed in cockpit.".
Somewhat related funny from when I worked in a manufacturing plant years ago. I worked in the assembly section where we built large industrial soldering machines for assembly line manufactures. We didn't use an assembly line but had teams that built the individual machines at a static location. One of my duties on the team was to unload the parts pallet(s) and compare to the Bill of Material. Any broken or missing parts were reported to the Stock Room on a form.
A running joke with the Stock Room personnel was the "Description of defect:" line on that form. Most of the "defects" found when unloading were broken light bulbs and crushed items because they were not properly protected or placed on the bottom by some n00b stockman. The reason of the defect was obvious as the part was smashed so the assembly guys would write "DFW" on the form.
OK, here's the funny part. After unloading a pallet and doing prep work on a new machine I was called into my foreman's office. The foreman, Production Manager and THE NEW Stockroom Manager were waiting. The Stockroom Manager wanted to know what DFW meant. I looked at my foreman and he was trying very hard not to laugh. The Production Manager gave me a dirty look and was noticeably irritated. I answered "Doesn't Fucking Work". Graciously my foreman sent me immediately back to work without further discussion.
That Stockroom Manager never did like me for some reason.
Got to love those insecure super serious new manager types. They're always pissed off because they're always bothered by the nagging feeling they're being laughed at behind their back. Better to beat them to the punch and laugh at yourself in front of them.
The rest of the story...
The "new" Stockroom Manager was an older guy, probably in his 50's, that had managed stockrooms elsewhere. His attitude was that he was going to come in and "fix" everything. If the idiot had asked anyone in his stockroom, my foreman or any assembly team leader they would have let him in on the joke. Instead he was going to "teach me a lesson" because that form had a notation at the bottom that said not to use abbreviations.
