As I was driving through town today, I came across something that I thought only happened in 1960's comedies:

I was sat at some traffic lights for some roadworks today. As the lights went green and I moved towards the large hole in the road, there was a guy working in the bottom of the hole with only his head and shoulders above road level.

Getting close to the hole, all of a sudden there was a huge jet of water came spurting out of the hole. Cue frantic running around by the workmen outside of the hole as the one in the hole got drenched.

He was obviously working close to the water mains and had cracked it one. Funniest thing I've seen in a while and something I thought only happened in films.
