Hmm, so much to choose from. Okay here's one....
Back in the mid-80's I took a bunch of friends up to a beach on the east side of Lake Winnipeg. In the late evening we built a bonfire and got it burning so high that people on the west side of the lake thought it was a distress call.
I heard weeks later that several dozen boaters risked the storm warnings that were out that night to go out on the lake, collectively burning up a few thou in fuel looking for.... well, us. My older brother was one of those boaters as it happens. He was pissed, but still he had to admit it was funny in a wincing, face-palming sort of way. He kept quiet about it around the marina though.
That's what taking 96 beers to the beach does.
