It happens. I was talking with two surveyors once who found some secret tunnels under a city whilst using ground penetrating radar. The police told them, "They aren't there, forget them."
So I waved my hand enigmatically in their faces and said, "These aren't the voids you are looking for."
Talk about a tumble weed moment.

A few years ago I was setting up all the lighting and sound for an outdoor schools carol concert and we were running a bit late. A teacher came over and started having a go at my boss asking when it would be ready for their rehearsal. She then said "I can't wait much longer as I've got 50 children"
I then quietly (I thought) said to a workmate "50 kids? She must have a fanny like a bucket"
Sadly it wasn't as quiet as I thought, even more sadly she heard me, as did several other people. Cue much sniggering from a lot of people, horrified gasps from some other others and an outraged teacher.
I had to formally apologise.

Not so much a joke, though it was funny and did leave me with egg on face.
Many, many years ago my Dad was off on Holiday. He gave me a gallon of oil and told me to service his car while he was gone.
I went to do the job and noticed that his old oil was pretty clean. I thought " sod it, ill use this to service my car" which I did.
A few days later dad went for a spin and the sump plug fell out and dumped his oil all over the road. Of course, he blamed me and I couldn't deny it without incriminating myself for pinching his oil.
