Have you ever told a completely ridiculous lie and managed to convince or almost convince people it was true? Did you convince them but then later get caught? What was the lie you got away/almost got away with?

The first thing that comes to my mind is that a while back there was a fire in an office building in town. Once it was written up in the paper all it said was that no one was hurt and it was thought that an unattended candle had started the fire. When my best friend asked me if the paper mentioned how it started I decided that a candle was too boring and on the spot made up an elaborate tale about how the guy who worked in the office was having an affair with his secretary and that while they were making love on the desk they knocked over a candle and didn't notice the flames until it was too late to do anything other than run out the back door while trying to adjust their clothes. She believed every word I said and was getting really into the story until I couldn't keep a straight face anymore and started laughing but hey, it was partly true...it really was a candle that started the fire.

I will often tell completely ridiculous s**t to Sara, just to see how completely insane I can make it and still have her believe it. My favorite was the migratory brain tissue.
Somehow, the phrase "Thinking with your pants" or the like came up, and I asked her if she knew how that came about. She said she didn't, so I began my hilarious lie, trying to make it sound as scientific as I could, while still being bat-s**t ridiculous.
I told her that during puberty, a bit of boy's vestigial brain matter will actually travel down the spinal cord and come to rest at about the base of the p***s. Of course you can't think with it, but that's what increases sensitivity and glandular functions during that time.
She said "Really?" I burst out laughing and said "No."

That's great. I probably would have fallen for that too.
Today while driving into the city we passed a small building that said Asian Massage on the sign and then proceeded to list some of their specialties. I read off a few of them and stuck a "happy ending" in. My husband's eyes went wide and he said, "Really? It said that?" He looked like he was about ready to turn the car around so I finally started laughing and told him I made up the happy ending bit of the sign. I hardly ever manage to pull a fast one on him so he wasn't too happy once he knew it wasn't true.

I do this to my little brothers all the time. Nothing bad, mind you. It's tough to keep from smiling at how innocent they still are.

I like slightly modifying oldest tricks in the book and seeing if I can still make them work.
I asked Sara what year our dictionary was published and she told me. I don't remember what exactly it was, but I said that a lot of dictionaries printed before (a few years after) what she said had a misprint in the "G" section, usually around the word "gullible" and were worth a significant bit more to serious collectors and that she should check to see if we lucked out.
I think that it would be going to far to say that she saw right through me, but I do remember that it didn't work out exactly as I'd planned.

Titaniana- Little brothers are fun. I remember convincing my brother of a few things, unfortunately for me he has grown up and now he's the one trying to trick me. I almost always fall for it too.
Matasoga- Haha that one is funny. I probably would have fallen for that although I like to think that upon realizing it was a joke I'd have said we were out of luck in the g's but that there was a misspelling in the a's...

mine would be in the white lie department, though i never actually said a word. In middle school we were given pink slips if we got in trouble. They were basically just warning slips that our parents had to sign. Well I lived with my dad a the time and REALLY didn't want to get busted. So i signed it. i waited till no one was home and found something with his signature and copied it. Not very hard since I like to think im artistic and we have slightly similar signatures(Though his are actually legible.)
Well I get two or three of these and get away with them. 4th one...I screwed up. she caught me on it and gave me one last chance. Again I tried and screwed up again!!! So she called my dad and he came to pick me up at the end of school, also picking up the others that I had made.
I ended up grounded FROM my room and was not allowed to read. Sufficient to say worst grounding ever.
The only funny part was after wards as I listened to them go over it...my step mom commented on how you couldn't tell a difference between the fake and real...and dad agreed smilies/icon_biggrin.gif

No, I wouldn't have been taken in by my own joke. But I would have pretended to, just to say "Oh, wow, you're right... Look here," and pointed. When you looked, I'd shut the book fast, and tell you that I got you twice with the same prank. Turn-about is fair play, but it's tricky to get it to work just right.
Fortunately, gullibility in girls can be very adorable, but more often than not, it just makes men look like buffoons.
Saber Talawyrm
I wouldn't fall for it a second time, fool me once and all that. Besides I wouldn't really have been trying to trick you anyhow.
Titaniana
It's always embarrassing when they pull one over on you.
Saber Talawyrm
It is. My brother usually gets me with computer/technology related things which he knows way more about than I do so I tend to believe him.
Titaniana
Has he done the one where he makes your desktop background a screenshot of webpages?

No, he lives about 5 hours away so it's usually over the phone or IM that he tricks me. That sounds interesting though...
Matasoga
How does one do that? And is it possible to do remotely?
Titaniana
Not possible remotely, but generally you open up a web browser that the computer's owner uses, go to their favorite site, maybe open up a few tabs and screenshot. Then copy paste it into paint, and set the screenshot as their desktop background. If they have icons on their desktop, right click and set them to not display. Then walk away and enjoy. smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif
My whole family spent a half hour one April fool's day trying to figure out why they couldn't get out of the screen they were in.

You can do it remotely, you just need special software. We had it at my old job, and my favourite game was playing tug-of-war with the mouse pointer.
My favourite trick was to take a screenshot of my normal desktop, then set it as my wallpaper. Then I'd either close explorer.exe, or put it up on the top of the screen. Then mum would spend FOREVER trying to figure out why the start bar wasn't working. smilies/icon_rofl.gif
Matasoga
That's... Brilliant. I love it!
Saber Talawyrm
I wondered what you meant, that's hilarious and sounds exactly like something my brother would do.
One thing my brother told me he has done is call Walmart through his computer and hack into their PA system while he's on hold, then he'd make random announcements for them. I wish he had recorded some of them though, I would have liked to hear what he said.

In highschool my friend and I did not want to attend art class...we practically finished everything for the year and had nothing else to do cause we always advanced too quickly...but anyways...we decided to ditch one day for just 30 mins out of the 60 min class. Well we lost track of time and when we went to the art classroom our class was out and a new one was going on. When we were asked why we missed class we told them we had burritos for lunch that made us super sick. Not only did we get away with ditching but they sent us home for the rest of the day lol
Saber Talawyrm
I did something similar once only I didn't know I was doing it since I had fallen for someone else's lie. ^^;

I'm notoriously gullible. Always have been. I kinda like the innocence it portrays in me, though. Others estimate me at a different level, and I come out of the woodwork and surprise them eventually. I've found I'm a fantastic liar, though. I can look in someone's eyes and tell the tale, and depending on the person, they believe me. Usually I have nothing to hide, though.
