Looking for blunders.

I'm working on a project, and I would be very grateful of any help the people of this site could offer.
I am trying to gather a collection of amusing opening moves in games. To clarify I do not mean openings but funny of even simply intriguing things that chess players might run into, during the first 10 moves or so, as they are learning the game. Things like the scholars mate, or fools mate or say,
1e4.e5
2d4,Nc6
3d5,Nd4
4c3
Little things like that, traps and blunders you make while improving and smile when you see an opponent making because it brings back memories as well as gives you a chance to pay forward the humiliation you received when you made the same mistake.

I would be glad to see what you come up with.  Let me know how it turns out. If I think of anything I'll pass it your way

I will let you know, a friend and I are gathering them so we can put together a collection of comedic poetry based on chess, that is the primary intent of the search.
