    I was trying to get my GF to stop using tanning beds because you know, skin cancer. I jokingly told her they are powered by mini nuclear reactors and that’s why people get cancer. Shockingly she believed me, stopped going and started telling her friends. I was more shocked to find out some of them believed her

    “During a long and boring journey I told my wife that not only do wind farms collect the energy but they also reverse and blow on the rare occasions that the earth needs to adjust its “orbital tilt” to rectify the shift in the seasons ( snow in March etc). She has little or none science and math so bought it and I spent the rest of the journey gently layering on the lie and expecting her to be shot down the next time she brought this up in front of her friends. U fortunately her potential new boss was very much anti wind farms and she tries to curry favour during her second interview by stating that she ” preferred a bit of snow in April and was eagerly waiting for when she could have sunshine on her birthday (jan)” She didn’t get the job “

  3. I once got too excited when my friend let me borrow his copy of Tony Hawk: Pro Skater 2. I walked into my apartment complex’s hallway, pulsing with energy, and tried to do a back-flip off of the wall. The way it happened in my head was awesome, slow-mo and flawless. What really happened was my foot went right through the wall and I fell on my ass. I scurried away into my room and told my mom what had happened – that the juvenile upstairs neighbor’s kid had – in an enraged stupor – punched a hole in the hallway wall. A few weeks later, after the landlord had patched the hole, I saw those neighbors moving out. I believe they had been evicted.

  4. I convinced my kid brother that a local Army Ranger battalion trained at our farm. I found a picture in a book a few years ago of some Army Rangers exiting a helicopter during a training mission. The helicopter was in a field that happened to have a treeline identical to a treeline on my parents’ farm. I took a photo of the picture and lined it up so that it looked like I had taken the photo of real Army Rangers, and not stolen it from the book. I showed it to my brother and convinced him that Dad was allowing Army Rangers to train in our fields whenever my brother was gone. I forgot about it. Then, after I went away to college, I got a phone call from my mom and dad. They were flipping out. They’d found the photo stored on the camera and questioned my brother, who insisted that yes, it was our farm, and those were real Army Rangers. They were really confused and angry as to why this would have happened without me telling them.
