People think that everything in Freemasonry is all serious and no fun but I beg to differ. In my last degree, I had something I thought was funny happen. I got hit in the head by the door( just for those lurking...it didnt hurt) when the SD opened it, lucky for me it hit the hardest part...LOL. Afterward, he was apologizing like crazy and I kept giving him a hard time about it.

I am sure I will get to experience more fun things in the Lodge besides getting hit by the door but I havent been in long enough yet and I found it to be quite humorous....
What funny things have happened to you or in your Lodge?

Interesting Question, as One might think that “lodge Business” is serious stuff.
Can’t top the head and Door story, but: Maybe five years ago my Lodge greeted 15 visitors from England, south of London. Great group! In the Middle of the Work of the evening, and with distinguished guests present, The Senior Warden ( we’ll now call Wor. Bob) standing at his station, while delivering important instruction dropped his truncheon. No problem, but, while jerking to retrieve it jammed his middle finger into the Marble pilaster at his left. The finger was dislocated on the spot. We are resourceful. Our wonderful Medical Doctor Worshipful
Master went to the west, realigned the finger with a crack, and the work finished. During the dinner all marvelled at the upturned finger of Wor. Bob; the other hand closely griping a double Single Malt glass. The visitors were very amused. We await the next event like this regularly.

I can see the humor in that, having had my finger dislocated a few times in HS playing football. I will get to go to my second stated meeting tomorrow so, I have seen mostly serious business have been through two degrees and one stated meeting. I did have a Brother get a bit confused with who was who because in my everyday life I am addressed by my middle name but they use my proper name during the degree work...and he came up to a group I was in an asked who “James” is....and everyone looked at me an laughed. I had to explain that growing up, “James” was my Great Grandfather and I was called by my middle name. Thats not as humorous as the door but I though it was kinda funny.....
