    I've heard my share over the years :pac:

    But I was in a taxi on Tuesday, talking to the driver, seems nice. Turns out his father was a gambler, lost it all. Fair enough I think. Happens alot. But he then proceeds to tell me his father owned a business in New York that was worth 200 million dollars a year :pac:

    .... words cannot describe how much i laughed inside while trying to keep a straight face. lol.


    So whats yours?

    Probably that a guy I know said he knew how to beat a roulette table and that he was taking home hundreds every week from it.

    Used to get told a crazy story every Sunday when I was a young fellow about this lad who lived many moons ago and could do amazing things like curing the sick, turning water into wine and even coming back to life after he died. I heard there are still some people telling this story even today.

    Guy I met 20 years ago while doing a PLC course:

    "My brother bought a Mig-19 off the Afghan air force. He's going to fly it back to Baldonnell when he gets his license."

    <laughs>

    "He has a certificate to prove it."

    <Bigger laughs>

    I was told 2 awfully terrible lies:

    1 - A guy told me he used get free ryanair flights by wearing his ex's ryanair hostesses uniform and boarding the plane. (He was deadly serious)

    2 - Another guy told me that they recover 5000 smart cars from the canals in Amsterdam every month because there is no railings up to prevent them from going in.

    My face is raw from facepalms.

    Theres this guy I know who has a huge reputation for lying. Whenever he says anything people just shake their head on the sly. Well I found out that many of his "lies" were in fact completely true. He still has that reputation though, I get the feeling people are a bit jealous so they just spread that everything he says are a lie. Then again some of his unproven stories are very ridiculous. I give him the benefit of the doubt these days though.

    If you pick your nose your brain will cave in,

    The wind will turn and your face will be stuck like that,

    There was a girl in my school who used to make up the biggest lies, she said Fran the lead singer in Travis was her cousin and used to "call" him up and pretend to speak to him in front of us.

    Oh she also told me her parents had a horse riding school and that she could ride. I took her out on my horse one day and she was nearly killed. Ended up crying and jumped off the horses back.

    Some people are so ****ing stupid!

    I once told my manager that I couldn't work because my granny had died. When she was found alive and well I said it was my other granny. When she was also found alive and well I said it was yet another granny....

    Oh, wait... that wasn't me after all.
