What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?My friends and I took a road trip and got lost in a small town so our navigator went into a sandwich shop to ask for directions. During this time, I suggested that we move the vehicle across the street. The navigator stepped out into the night and could not see the van. We watched him as he looked on both sides of the shop, and then around the back to the alley. We were laughing in the vehicle when the navigator's body language indicated that he did not have his phone on him. In fact, it was in a cup holder. We then proceeded to leave the van and go into the pizza place where we relocated. He didn't see us until we slammed the doors of the van shut.
