Real-life slapstickFact: When someone walks into a lamp-post it makes a very satisfying and hugely hilarious "Ding!" noise. However, it is not quite so funny when the post is in the middle of town and you are the victim. Tell us about hilarious prat-falls.
Thanks to Bob Todd for the suggestion

Ouch!Not slapstick, but when I was a wee Kipper, I did a milkround.
We were in a diesel float, where the handbrake was a lever sticking out the steering column.
The milkman would pull the lever on, jump out and the float would stop just in front of him, where he could then take a bottle or two from the crates.
One Saturday we were mid-round when I saw a partly demolished wall in someone's front garden. When I pointed it out, he beamed and said "I did that yesterday".
Apparently his hand slipped on the brake and the float just sailed past him as he stood there.
Apparently he just reversed it off their front garden and drove off...
