<<Okay, now someone start a thread about getting stuck. This is much too funny to not continue.
As you wish.
A couple of years ago, I lived in Orem Utah. On the other side of Utah lake is this cave, called if I remember right, Nutty Putty Caves. Essentially, you go out to the middle of nowhere, climb this hill, and there is a pit about 10 ft deep, and what do ya know, at the bottom of the pit is a small tunnel that leads into a fairly large cave system. Fun, little known place. Down there, is a place called the birth canal. To get in, you put your hands above your head, and wiggle through. And believe me, it gets tight. Fortunatly its only about 4 feet from one end of the canal to the other. And then you can stand up, and keep going. Coming back is if anything more scary.
So, I go there, have a great time, come back home get cleaned up, turn on the news. Seems someone got stuck down there. Actually 2 someones. 1 person in the chamber beyond the birth canal, and another person in the birth canal. The 2 people were down there more then a day before rescuers could get them out.
I can hardly imagine the serious, screaming case of claustrophobia that resulted from that little adventure. Apparently since that time, others have managed to get wedged in down there in other places as well. Confined spaces, are not fun, especially when the air starts getting warm.

Having always been challenged a bit in the stature department...
When I was five, my family spent Christmas in Lake Tahoe, and experienced our first truly white Christmas. My mother and I went out for a walk, and being that she was older and bigger, quickly got ahead of me. Imagine her surprise when she turned around and saw no sign of me other than the pompom on top of my knit hat, waving gaily to her from the snowbank I had promptly slid into. It was taller than I by several inches, so I literally pulled a vanishing act.
Not that I was truly stuck since it was easy to pull me out again once she'd found me. Hooray for pompom hats.

This isn't really a story of me getting stuck, but more of getting something stuck in me.
When I was about four or five years old, I remember my mother spending -all- day cleaning the house. Now I was content with my toys for a while but when I wanted attention, by golly, I wanted it right then and there. Well, while my mother was vaccuuming the living room, I was sitting on the couch staring at her, waiting for her to look at me because I was crying my eyes out because I wanted attention. Obviously at that age, I didn't realize that though I could hear myself screaming, my mother could not over the loud vaccuuming. Well, I decided that she didn't want to pay attention to me and that I would start searching the couch cushions for "treasure". And I found it, in the form of a pony bead(For all you non-crafty people out there, it's a big plastic bead).
I decided to stick it straight up my nose. That would get her attention! But oh no! It got stuck!. . Oh, what do I do, what do I do?! Alright, . . I'll just get it out. (bead gets stuck even further) screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaam
That sure as hell got her attention. I had to go to the emergency room to get it removed by a very long set of tweezers.
Needless to say, I didn't play with beads for a very long time.

ROFLMAO omg....this is too much. When my husband was like 13 he decided to go sliding down the barn roof in the middle of winter. Halfway down he ripped his arse on a nail, his parent's were on a cruise so they had to call the neighbor lady to come look at his butt and take him to get stitches and a tetanus shot. He hates it when i mention that story but it's too funny..
I have a bunch of other gruesome and funny stories but they don't fit in this thread so I'll bide my time until threads open for:
"Dad! Putting the tire rims underneath the basketball hoop was a great idea!"
"When horses attack (or you're just stupid)"
"The dangers of owning model airplanes that actually have spinning propellors"
and my personal favorite,
"Have you or someone you've known tried to play Tarzan with disastorus results?"
Forgive my spelling...I don't think I've slept in a few days....at least not something you can call sleep. If anyone has any miracle cures for teething babies let me know!

Something called, Old Grand Dad, just rub an itsy bitsy tiny amount on their gums. They'll sleep for hours and the pain will go away ;-) And it helps if you have a couple of shots too :-D

If its got two legs and you hear a thud...don't panic...I just killed another one.

Stuck story #1:
I have two brothers, with me being the middle child. I was probably around 7 or 8 yrs old and my dear little brother was about 4 or 5. We were sitting at the kitchen table having dinner, phone rang and my mom got up to answer. During this time, my brothers and I have invented the "I-double-dare-you-to-stick-this-somewhere-and-then-eat-it-afterwards" game. I think I placed a pea in my belly button and then smushed it (a little) and then ate it. Ok, grande ole time and really it's my oldest brother and me doing the dares and my little brother is cracking up in laughter...but he wants to participate in the dare-nasty-eat game. Unknowingly to me and my brother, my little brother stuck 1 grain of rice in his right nostril and then we hear him start crying and bawling. Mom had hung up the phone and came back to the kitchen right when this calamity is going on and was all of a sudden was in a panic that my little brother was choking. We're all still clueless that it was a grain of rice stuck in my lil brother's nose but mom finally figured that something was stuck in his nose because my brother kept sticking his grubby finger into his nostril (pushing that 1 rice-grain way up there) and then bawling really loud each time. The vivid picture I carry to this day is my oldest brother struggling to hold my lil brother still while my mom had his head tilted back holding a pair of dad's tweezers trying to get the rice out, which she was successful in doing. And do you know that my lil beloved cute brother DARED ME to eat it after that? My oldest brother and I got a spanking for endangering my little brother. (PS- Anyone ever see a barbarian named "Mclaron" in-game, that's my "little" brother.)
Stuck Story #2:
Neighborhood kids propped a long wooden board on this tree stump and we were trying to see-saw on it. But the stump was too high so we ended up using it kinda like a "sliding" vessel. So I got up on the stump first and attempted to "slide" down the wooden board. Got a 4-inch long splinter STUCK into my lower left buttock. Went to the 24-hour minor emergency clinic and they had to lay me out on a table, give me a shot of local anesthetic to the buttock area for numbing purposes, and then made an incision into my buttock to draw the splinter out. I now have a permanent 5-stitch scar there. I was 15 yrs old and into cute guys and the doctor who did the minor surgery was HOT. I was SO EMBARRASSED!!!

When I was 5, we moved to a new house. The first thing I did was check out the empty lot next to us. Unbeknownst to me, it had rained the previous day, so it was a complete mudhole. Took two people to get me out, and we never did find my shoe.

Unknown to you, I have pinpointed your general location at the age of 5 using various reverse location techniques. I am now going to dig up your old shoe and claim it as my own. Mwha hahahahah. Free shoe for me!!!
