People are gullible

The other night at bowling I sneezed, and one guy bowling against us goes: "Ah, you have something?" to which I reply - "Yeah, Hepatitis".

He was like, "Really? In your nose?"

"Yeah, my nose has hepatitis. "

I give this guy credit in that he's much older, and comes from a generation where diseases weren't as hilarious as they are now. But this next example of my exploitation of gullibility is far more astounding:

Dan's Xmas party, December 2006. I'm chatting with 2 gentlemen, not much older than myself. Both college educated (now that i think of it, both were Holy Cross alum, like most of dan's friends).
We were talking about how cold it was out, and I proclaimed that I once got stuck in the cold myself, and was forced to sleep inside of a dead horse. I immediately recount the scene from Empire Strikes back where Han sticks Luke inside of a dead Tauntaun, switching out the names and replacing "Lightsaber" with "pocketknife", and "Hoth" with "Hubbardston, MA". These guys had been drinking, and followed the story intently, amazed at my story of survival. After the 8th time they said "Really? Wow! Really?" I yelled "No fucking way, are you kidding me? Do you really think I crawled inside of a horse to stay warm?"

I guess thats not that fair either, since they were kinda drunk. I'll try to remember more times that I've F'd with people's H's.
