Funniest thing seen on resumes?

I've been really tempted from time to time to put goofy stuff on mine. Like under skills: "Can assemble IKEA furniture without the directions."

Might steal that one from you. That’s good.
 
Mostly from undergrads including none relevant stuff.
Did fix up friends resume that was not good.
 
Had this as my LinkedIn summary for a bit when I got fed up with underwhelming recruiter spam.
==========================================

I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you’re looking for unpaid side projects, I can tell you I don’t have much. But what I do have are a very particular and diverse set of skills, skills I have acquired through years working in high stress environments and earning multiple college degrees. Skills that make me of great benefit to companies like yours. If you hire me now, that’ll be the start of something great. I will not fail you, I will not pursue other companies’ offers. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will gain employment in your company.

If I ever decide I want some kind of side-gig over my normal career, maybe I'll try some silly things on my resume.
