Something like this

The world being destroyed by a giant marshmellow. It's is sad because the world is destroyed, and funny because a marshmellow attacked them.

It's pink and white, It's called tiny. Maybe have a terrorist plant a bomb in a cow or something and if it farts the world blows up. That would be funny and sad.

You guys are so creative
I think the writings of Richard Adams (watership down, the plague dogs) and the Secret of NIMH are good examples of awesome sad/happy animal stories.

I think the marshmellow idea is really fun.

Maybe also something inspiring? Sad stories sometimes make feel really good... like the story of Greyfriar's Bobby http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greyfriars_Bobby... I don't think it qualifies as funny-haha though...

oh. i seen the fil;m about the dog.....:shock:

paul. mashmello terror is a back up story.:biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2:

its about a horse. had good owners. given away because he would not train.and its given to a bad owner.

then escapes. police get him. he is a funny horse. shows he can not do thinks but is good in roits. saves people and stuff in riots and protest and

dies in tghe sables............

sad but funny. the funny bits are like when he um... is messing. thinks "no way am i jumping over that. with santa on my back!"

and stuff.:biggrin2:
