Im crying but trying to be very quiet.

[pyx_e]

So me and and my missus just watched the news headlines after Spooks. This Scottish guy was raving about filming some tigers (in the Himalayas) and my missus says "My God there are tigers in Scotland....did you see that?" And I kept a straight face and said "Ya it was on the six o'clock news too."

She shot upstairs to use her facebook and warn all her friends and I am down here crying (silently) with laughter, biting my arm so as not to alert her.

She's gonna kill me.

Tell her they are concerned they are going to hunt to hagis to extinction. I told a friend that hagis were real creatures, he still believes it. But then he also believes that the internet backbone is liquid based. We got him to believe this be explaining to him thats what an exchange was for and with repeated comments of 'oh, the net's a big thick today. Viscous.' etc

A haggis is a scottish mountain creature with its left or right legs shorter than the opposite side (depending on gender). They live on the side of hills, this is why the legs are different lengths, so that they can stand straight without tumbling down the hill. Unfortunately, due to the opposing leg differences between genders, attempts at reproductive acts are apparently very amusing to watch. (I find that last part simply GENIUS and VERY amusing.)


I'm sure there is/was a wikipedia article on this. That made it A LOT easier to convince people they existed and then be smug when you "prove" yourself correct after they have doubted you.

had a similar experience in work today when a young woman asked me if the digital camera she was looking to buy used a Lithuanian battery, I didn't have to heart to correct her

We managed to convince a friend that haggis were real animals on a night hike. We told him about the leg thing and that they ate small smooth pebbles at which point he promptly filled the front pocket of his orange cagoule with them.

Just at the time, fortuitously, a fox started screeching away in the background, obviously that was the mating call of said beast.

On another occasion, one of the younger kids overheard us chatting about (I don't know why) Hermaphrodites. He asked what it was, we told him it was like a pterodactil but without the swept back horn on its head.

Also FYI, a eunich is a female unicorn.

We once told a woman we used to with that if someone dies on a chair and develops rigamortis (sp?) they have to be buried in a "chair shaped" coffin, and that Jewish people are buried on end, to save space and money... she fell for it hook, line and sinker... poor girl

I remember during my schooldays the news announcer saying something about the Argentinians invading the Falkland Islands.

I couldn't work out why a south american country would be interested in small islands off the scottish coast. No one had heard of the things before that.

When I was little and would read some history thing where 'the queen was beheaded' I didn't realise that made you die. I thought it was just an extension of thieves getting their hands cut off, but a bit harsher cos y'know, living without a head would really suck.

There's a place in Fife called Falklands Palace, that was a wee bit confusing when the Falklands war was on.

We once had a guy peeling spaghetti. We bought the wrong type you see, it still had the starch branches attached, he started off scraping the strands individually but eventually started doing them ten or twenty a time using a butter knife.

He even saved the pile of spaghetti 'dust' he scraped off.

Another favourite was asking if someone wanted a crisp roll (Shock horror, not a bap or barm but a roll) and handing them a roll with a packet of crisps in it.

I have worked with people who still believe spaghetti grows on trees as a result of this: https://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/april/1/newsid_2819000/2819261.stm
