i had a class with my friend, he was late to class when we had a particually angry sub, so the sub starts going off on him, my friend stands there and starts rubbing his nipples...shut the teacher up damn quick, the class clapped
Edit: one i was at a friends house on his lil' bro's birthday, his family was there, its time to blow the candles out, my friend brings the cake out, sets it down the flips off his bro with both hands, his mom taps me on the shoulder and points at my friend, i set down my drink, walk over and deck my friend in the side of the head, which drops him to the ground, and i walk back and grab my drink, no one says anything and everyone is sitting there looking at me/my friend on the ground

During the Atlanta Olympics, I had a crappy part-time job selling hats and T-shirts at MARTA stations. I got sent out to sell crap at the station next to the gold medal baseball game, and when it let out, the place flooded with people, and there were so many no one could move down the escalators to get to the station. And my manager looked at me, grinned, and said, "Sing."
And I went, "...What?"
And he went, "Sing!"
So I turned around, took a deep breath, and started singing "Batti batti" from Mozart's Don Giovanni (I was taking voice lessons at the time).
The entire crowd of people shut up and everyone turned to stare at me singing. It was the most amazing moment of my life, to have that many people going silent just to hear me. When I stopped, they all started clapping. This drunk guy stumbled up and said told me I was a great singer, but the one that stuck with me was an older woman making her way over, looking me dead in the eye, and saying, "Don't waste that" before she melted back into the crowd.
I did the same aria a year or so later at a masterclass my voice teacher had me do, and when I finished, the woman teaching the masterclass looked at me and said, "You ARE Zerlina" (Zerlina is the character who sings "Batti batti.")
I thought seriously about trying to go pro, but I get really bad sore throats in Spring, which would pretty much cripple me, alas. But I'm in an acapella group, so I still get to sing.
And hee hee, in a similar vein, after a rehearsal we were all walking to a train station and singing. I've got the solo in a song we're doing, "Seasons of Love," and it goes up to a high C. I busted out with the high C, and this guy was coming out of a convenience store when I did, and his whole face just lit up, so much that all of us in the group just died laughing and were like, "Oh my god, did you see his face? You just made that man's life!"
The only other thing I can think of is in high school when I read something I had written aloud--we had to write "Gilgamesh goes to the underworld after Enkidu" in the style of the poem--and then the teacher called on someone else, and he yelped, "I have to go after that?! That's not fair!" I never got the assignment back, since the teacher kept it as an example.
And I went, "...What?"

That was the best one up till now, truly! I love girls that can sing, especially those who know what to sing! Will you marry me?yeah_so_no said:
Ooh... this thread was meant to be for me 
. Once my cousin dared on 20 Lats (it`s about 40 dollars) that I couldn` t run naked through a supermarket. I did it, cousin and all his friends were speechless .
A fag was annoying me (name-calling, punching, poking etc. etc.) in English class. Then I went beserk. I threw a desk on him and broke his arm. Only thing teacher said: "Now I am officially afraid of you". I got suspended, so what? At least I got some serious reputation, no one bothers me anymore.
Again with daring. I was riding my mountain bike when a guy comes to me and dares me to make a back flip from a specially designed kicker (well it is possible). I did it... well almost. When I made the flip and landed, at the last phase of the trick I failed. I fell and rolled 5 times. then i stood up unscratched.
Last thing. this is very short. I put my pants on my head, ran into some restourant and yelled: "Freedom for all Pants on Head retarded people" I think everyone was speechless.

Heh, depends--can you play piano or cello? I have such a weak spot cellists and pianists.S.H.A.R.P. said:
i was sparring at a karate tournament, my first time as a black belt. i had already seen this other guy fight and i knew his first move would be a side kick to the head. so when i fought him, before the fight started i was just sitting on my back leg. the instant the judge said "FIGHT" his side kick came strait toward my head and i gave him a side kick between the legs before he could get to me. the retard wasn't wearing a cup. everyone watching went silent.
Eh.. Well I played the keyboard, for about 2 months. Does that count? Damn. Guess not.yeah_so_no said:
Won't it be enough if I can spent hour upon hour listening to you with genuine love and adoration in my eyes?
Ages ago there was this little shit he was about i dunno 2-3 years younger than me and he was talking shit to me and he picked up this rock threw it at my face i just stuck my hand out and caught the stone in between my fingers then i threw it back at him and it hit him in the eye
all his friends were just shocked (well so was i it was a fluke but so awesome).

Was this supposed to be a religious statement (not that I'm offended) or did you lose a bet?megapenguinx said:
my habit of wearing too many clothes on the grounds that i dont overheat but get cold easily leaves a lot of onlookers speechless.
3 layers on a day when everyone else was wearing t-shirts and complaining about the heat. then someone noticed and shouted out that i was wearing 3 layers (2 sweaters and a t-shirt) and everyone stopped talking. it was fun seeing their expressions change furiously as they tried to figure out how i was managing it.

Actually neither, we were in church earlier that morning for a first communion and there was a point were it got dead silent because everyone was praying. My sister and I looked at each other and thought, wouldn't it be hilarious is someone just ran in screaming their heads off and ran out? So it all kind of stemmed from that.War Penguin said:
Just to say, I'm enjoying the ones that get applause more than speechless ones. Nevertheless, keep em coming!
Anywho, I just remembered one. In RE class, the dumbest girl in our year needed to go out for some reason or another. The teacher would let her go if she answered the question, "What do Jewish boys wear on their heads?". Completely straight faced, she said, "a Bible?". I was the only one laughing, and it was quite loud, if I recall correctly.

I saw someone include being very sneaky, so I figured I'd share mine.
Sometimes when I come home from school, I open the door really quietly (only works if it isn't locked, my key is loud) and then close it with the handle turned to it's very quiet.
I then drop my backpack, take off my shoes, and move up the stairs with almost no noise.
(This part only works if my Mom's in the kitchen) I hide by the door until my Mom is doing something at the counter, then walk right up behind her and say hi.
I usually almost cause a heart attack doing this. It's very fun!
One my friend told me about,
At his old school they were playing football and he wasn't paying attention. He was scratching a bite or something on his neck and the ball came flying through and landed in the crook of his arm, right in the bend of his elbow.
That left people speechless.
