What's the silliest plot thread you've ever come up with for a story?

[Naruzeldamaster]

And decided not to write it because it was so silly that even with good characters it'd only be entertaining to you?

I think my silliest idea for a plot involved Eldritch horrors, an army of androids, and...caramel Dansen...
Yes, I'm serious, those were the key plot points.

I may give it another go but I want to finish my current project first.

Has to do with thieves stealing a couch thinking it magic and trying to transport it via a sewer system. The couch was not magic but a previous mage hid stones in it that were. It would lead to creatures appearing to plague the city.

Did not write it. Probably wont.

We had a chapter in the last book that turned out to be way too porny, so it had a complete overhaul. Other than that, we're strong believers in humor, even in the darkest moments. Pain fades, chicks dig scars, and glory if forever. And then, please, for all that is holy, tell a joke. It doesn't have to be much, but it does need to be there to reinforce the characters' humanity.

And yes, yes, human garbage, but he has really good advice to offer on writing.

But, from all this chaos emerged my favorite joke that still needs a home...

Etienne is looking out the kitchen sliding glass door into the gardens, drinking his coffee. Alerich joins him with his tea. "Anything interesting?"
Etienne: "Just saw some idiot bird fly into the garden wall. Probably a male. Don't see females dumb enough to stun themselves looking at crap."
Alerich: quirks a brow and looks more closely at the garden wall. "Makes you wonder what he was looking at." sips his tea
Etienne: "Probably a titmouse or something."

Hehe, funneh joke, I like.
Here's A Joke that I find funny but equally stupid.
Three Prisoners are lined up for the firing squad, they don't wanna get shot so they come up with their own ideas on how to escape.
The First Guy shouts "Earth quake" and everybody panics and he gets away.
The Second guy likes the first guy's idea, so he shouts 'Tsunami" and everyone panics and he gets away.
The Third guy, see, he isn't very bright, but he likes their idea too. So he shouts "Fire"
At which point, he is shot and dies, cause you know...firing squad.

I deliberately made my setting as silly as possible so I didn't have to abandon my goofier ideas. The baking soda/vinegar powered engines have probably gotten the most flak from other people reading it, though.
