Here's mine.

[Peter, in jail, chained between two goards] zzzzzzzzz
[Angel] Hey. Wake up.
[Peter] zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
[Angel] HEY! Wake up!
[Peter] zzzzz huh?
[Angel] Get up. Let's go.
[Peter] This is a wild dream Okay. [Starts walking]
[Angel] Put your clothes on first, duh.
[Peter] Oh, right. This dream is kind of a nag.
[Chains fall off]
[Peter] But if he can do that, nag away!
[Angel] Follow me.
[Peter, watching the door open by itself] Boy, I sure dream good.
[Angel] Okay, we're out. Head to Mark's house. [Poof, gone]
[Peter] Guess I have to wake up now. Gonna wake up now. Gonna wake up any moment now. Not waking up. Hold on. That was REAL?? [Goes to Mark's house]
[Peter] Knock knock, open quick before someone spots me.
[Rhoda] Who is it?
[Peter] It's me, Peter. Open the door.
[Rhoda] OMG!!!! PETER! HEY EVERYBODY, YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS!
[Everybody] You're right, we don't, or you would have let him in.
[Rhoda] Oops.

Makes me laugh every time I read it.

Now I'm chuckling, especially after looking it up in Acts and reading that "[Herod] put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each." Guarded by 16 soldiers!

The conversion of Saul of Tarsus. Quite a startling reversal of course.
