My favorite silly encounter is this one:
"Hey, buddy, you forgot your bag!" You didn't, but before you can object, the man is gone. You open the bag and find a Common Item inside.
... and then you can get a Sedanette or a Motorcycle from the Common Items deck.
Just the idea of imagining the guy dragging a bag the size of car while calling "Your forgot your bag" makes me laugh. :D
Daniel
::laughter::
yeah... but you can explain this! Inside the bag you find the key of a vehicle parked just outside the train station
Julia, you just broke all the charm of that encounter :D

In my last game, I got the encounter at the Train Station where a friend you've known for a long time is leaving town forever. You have to make a Will check to convince him to stay. I drew Duke.
Another time, in an other world encounter, someone ran into a frantic, dying explorer and had to fight him off, managing to take something from him. The player drew Fine Clothing.
"Ashcan" Pete will take that off your hands when you're done with it.
Charlie Kane would befriend a strangled cat if given the chance.
Finn Edwards has very deep pockets.
Hank Samson does not care that you've mastered time travel.
Lily Chen can punch a hue.
Lola Hayes is the world's best Egyptologist.
Mark Harrigan is very good at hedge mazes.
Michael McGlen has never experienced an earthquake.
Minh Thi Phan makes group hugs empowering.
Patrice Hathaway plays songs you can't get out of your head.
Tommy Muldoon is most qualified to be deputy, yet for some reason nobody want him to be.
Tony Morgan sells meat out of the back of his van.
Ursula Downs can shop at an empty store.
Wendy Adams always wins at hide and seek.
William Yorick has a Bachelor's in Cryptozoology—no wonder he can't find work.
Wilson Richards will paint over anything for a dollar.
Zoey Samaras can torch a fire vampire.
One time I drew Fine Clothing from defeating a Tcho-Tcho...
The image that immediately came to me was the investigator stripping the slain Tcho-Tcho of his tux. ;D Heh, that was hilarious.
I always feel like, somebody's watching me...
We kind of have to gloss over Tcho-Tchos with Tommy Guns, Shotguns, Dynamite etc.
Otherwise, it should be a lot harder to beat that particular Tcho-Tcho in combat. Or they're idiots.
Tcho-Tcho with a Bible, Tasks and Food are my favourites (Would you eat anything a Tcho-Tcho had in its pockets? Or do Genealogy Research on one?)
Not an encounter exactly, but one of us had our investigator sucked into a gate 4 times in a row at independence square. The mythos card would pop a gate on her, she'd take the turns going though, then close it, and then the next mythos card would open another gate. She got sucked into R'lyeh, The abyss, Celano, and finally the Dreamlands before escaping the cycle. I blame the gypsies

::laughter:: this should suggest it's better sealing Independance Square (as all high frequency locations).. or just leave the gate open if you don't have enough clues

Another ridiculous situation that's not really an encounter.
I just played a game with my girlfriend using two investigators each.
I got "Ashcan" Pete (the drifter) and Michael McGlenn (the gangster) and the relation they got between them were "members of the book club".
Idon't know what you think but I just can't picture them as the typical book club members who meet up after work to discuss the latest romantic novel or cookbook.

I'm guessing "adult" book club.

I played a game with Wendy Adams and everyone in Arkham (at 3 or 4 encounters) kept giving her alcohol.
Apparently, even though alcohol was illegal in the US during the 20s, nobody considered it immoral to hand it over to 10y old girls they just met in the street.
At least I didn't have any problems with my sanity.
