Urist McStink cancels wash self: Job item destroyed or misplaced.

It was probably the soap, but just the thought of him misplacing a body part...

In the fortress of Prisonrape, you do not want to misplace the soap.

"Urist McThirsty cancels Drink: Interrupted by Engraver."
One of my engravers went nuts and just hung around the well, bugging people.
I imagined him slapping the cups out of dwarven hands and just being a nitwit, babbling to himself while the others grumbled.
He eventually got in the way of a crossbow bolt as the city filled with water and more dwarves went mad.  Good game.

No booze? Dwarvers probably weren't going mad because of the insane Engraver.

Urist Cancels sleep: resting injury

That's some intense resting.

A normal ballista does damage by piercing with overlarge arrows, a dwarven ballista does damage by crushing with entire trees.

They will run, naked, into the caverns and roll around in whatever nearby filth is available.  Watch for gory explosions.

"I can't sleep! I've got to heal this injury by resting!"

"But isn't resting the same as sleepin-"

So the only thing preventing violence in my fort is that the Dwarves are already to injured from fights. I find this to be both funny and sad.

Nothing too great, but i did get this one a while ago

Urist McSwimmy cancels drink: Dangerous Terrain

Not funny on it's own, but he was actually pinned against the edge of the embark area by a river because he was so thirsty he decided to just jump in. I have no idea how(or more importantly, why), but he stayed there swimming until he died of thirst and would never get out or do anything else. Or drink all the water that was EVERYWHERE.
