What is the funniest thing you have made someone believe is true?

Question

I was listening to a radio programme the other day where the callers were telling everyone of really silly facts that they had made up but were able to convinvce their friends and loved one that they were actually true. Some were so absurd it was unbelievable.

For example

One woman convinced a foreign visitor that the Uk had such a thing as the fashion police and that the outfit he had on would get him arrested.

Another good one was a woman who convinced her friend that the titanic didn't really sink and that the film just made it all up.

The funniest one wins!

There are just too many good answers for me to pick the best one I am gonna leave it for a few more hours then put it to a vote.

May the best one win. They all made me laugh so much

Answer 1

I told people I went into the grocery store to buy milk, bread and eggs. That I was followed by some woman who kept staring at me. When I finally asked her what was up she said I looked like her dead daughter.

I told people that when I got into the checkout line she was ahead of me. She finished and the cashier rang up my milk, bread and eggs and told me I owed $78.13. I asked him how come and he said that my "mom" said I'd pay for her stuff too.

I told him to hang on a minute that the lady wasn't my mom. I went out into the parking lot and found her loading her groceries into her car. I ran up to her before she could leave. Guess how I caught her. I pulled her leg, just like I've been pulling yours.

Works for me every time I tell it, and no matter who I tell it to.

Answer 2

When I was little I convinced my sister there was such a thing as witchland. I'm a fast thinker, and a definite wind-up merchant - always have been. I first told my sister about witchland when she was three and I was five. I told her that my neighbour Daisy and I would get on broomsticks and go to witchland every night. My sister accepted this.

Soon she asked me why she had seen me sleeping in bed when I claimed to be in witchland. I told her i put a dolly that looked like me in my bed when I went so mum wouldn't know. She accepted this too.

This went on until she was about seven, when one day she asked if she could come to witchland with me. I said of course. In the morning she said "Why didn't you take me?" I told her i had but you never remembered fro the first two years. She finally found out I'm a big fat liar when she was 9!

I also convinced my peers that there was a rare green wildcat on the loose in the vicinity of our school when we were in yr7,and that it was highly dangerous, that talking to plants was beneficial because they exuded this aura that drank negative vibes, convinced a girl that we had been on a school trip the day before and she had fallen over and hit her head, hence why she couldn't remember it, that this girl had a baby in the toilets..... I'm forever winding ppl up, I;m actually very mischevious.

Bad girl!

Answer 3

once my friend was pretending to be from mars. everybody was playing a long and being silly. then this girl walked in the room and was listening to all of us talking and she was like "OMG, YOU'RE FROM MARS?" and she was all asking questions about what it was like and how long it took to get to earth and she was totally serious!

and once i was having fun on the computer and i made myself a "twin." it was a picture and we looked exactly alike but enough difference to tell it wasn't the exact same picture because they really were two different pictures. i put it on my binder for school and people would look at it and be like "i didn't know you had a twin" and i just wouldn't say anything and they would go off and tell everybody. even my teacher beleived it but i set her straigh right away and told her to keep it secret. she agreed!

anyway i thought that was really funny!

Answer 4

Here's are some...well first when my oldest was younger, her Dad convinced her that she had to move out and get a job, she was like 4 I think?!

Her Dad also had this neighborhood kid convinced for YEARS that I ate children and that's why I didn't mind him being around because he was next.

When my brother was younger I convinced him that he came from Hong Kong to better explain his desire for so much chinese food.

I had this friend when I was in junior high school who was stuck on herself, I got our other friends together and we collectively had her going he entire day about something being wrong with her and she was the only one who couldn't see it. It got her in school suspension. Guess that one went too far *whistling*

Answer 5

Well, theres a garage up the road that fixes cars and I sometimes get chatting to the mechanics in the corner shop when they pop in to buy their lunch and one of them was telling me that they had adopted a stray cat that decided to move in some weeks earlier, and they called it Nomad. When I next saw them I asked how Nomad was and they told me that he gave them quite a scare the previous day, he was running around wildly ignoring their calls, just ran around the walls, round and round and round and finally fell to the ground with a thud! I was aghast and asked what was the problem, and they laughed and said, he ran out of petrol!

Answer 6

in my first office where i was office manager i convinced several members of staff that our payroll people had failed to make up the wages and that there would BE no payroll that month. this was highy believable since every month something always seemed to be wrong....my administrator was in on the joke and we kept it going all day..even to the point where i was allegedly shouting down the phone about how incompetent they were...my staff were convinced i would get sacked for talking to them that way ...at one point my admistrator had tears running down her face from laughing at my antics and i had to adlib fast to cover this up and was shouting about how she was so upset over the whole thing. one of our male colleagues was so incenced by this time that he grabbed the phone off me and was about to give "them" hell. it took him a few moments to work out that he was talking to an empty phone line and the look on his face made my administrator AND me roll about laughing. out other male colleague had been soshaken by the whole thing that he had been asked twice by his bank to sign his name on his withdrawal slip because they didn't think his signature was genuine...his hands were so shaking he couldn't write properly.

very naughty i know...but one of the best practical jokes i have ever pulled.

Answer 7

So my best friend and I were on the bus to NYC and I just finshed walking my dog. I still had dog treats in my bag because i gave them to my dog. So i offered my friend one to try and told them they were new cookies. And they ate it and liked it!!! Then i told them that they were really dog treats and they said what kind i like them! He was kidding but it was the funniest ting in the world. Latter he barffed all over my white dog!

Answer 8

Two years ago I went out on Halloween dressed as Harry Potter and loads of little kids thought I really was him. Mind you, I'm female, but my hair was pretty short.

Photos on my site if you're interested.

My friend decided to tell them she could read palms. she asked them their star sign and told them a bit about themslves and forcasted a coach accident on their way home.
