I convinced (years apart) TWO different girlfriends that the Washington Monument could be rotated by motors.

And one of them was her high school’s valedictorian.

It could be. Technically.

I almost had a friend's girlfriend convinced that I had purchased a "120mm Rheinmetall smoothbore" at a gun show. After several hours of texting, I finally got a message that went something like "Holy $#!+!!!! That's a #$^!(*& TANK!!!!!"

Google is our friend ...

Reminds me of when I would participate in airshows. The Prowler has a refueling probe in front of the cockpit and when people would ask what it was, we would tell them it was our periscope.

I dated a girl that I convinced...

... If you put a twinkie in a bowl of water it will expand to be huge. Filling and all.

... If you put a cigarette under the water faucet and get the water hot enough it will light it

... If you wrap your hand around an egg perfectly, you can’t crush it.

Vermont cows are bred with shorter legs in front so they can stand on hills.

I told an outrageous lie to a mate in the Navy.
He came back later and asked how I was able to do that.
Do what, I asked. He said he didn’t think it was possible to look someone in the eyes and lie to them. I like to think I created a cynic that day.

I convinced my sis-in-law that the two causeways kept Galveston Island from floating away. She is a RN, graduated from Texas A&M University!
