Single greatest thing to happen ever
I was attending the graduation ceremony of a friend. The usual poncing about by academics, and speechifying etc. Some international esteemed astrobiologist or something... can't remember.
Anyway, it came time for a student to speak, he'd won the school medal for best handwriting or something terribly important, I think he was from Psychology.
Anyway, I don't wish to digress, he starts his talking, probably about his research project on dressing rats as ninjas and seeing if they run faster through mazes. About 3 minutes in, he says 'Oh, my, I think I'm about to faint'. And then he did.
It took just that moment too long enough that you realised, that they all thought he was joking, which made the joy all the greater. Not only did we see a man faint, which is funny enough, but we saw a room of people think that he was not really fainting...

Total Win.

and yes, he was ok. It was just fainting, not no stroke or something.
