I too have read thousands of resumes in my career and some of them...made me laugh out loud. 
One of my favorites was the guy who took a complete additional page, to explain all of his run-ins with the law (6 or 7 separate incidents).
His last one said, "they accused me of armed robbery, but the charges were dropped because they didn't have any video proof...and couldn't find the gun."
