Bullshit and BullshittersWe've had questions about lies and liars in the past, but this time we're asking about the sort of fantasist who constantly claims they've got a helicopter in the garden or was "second onto the balcony at the Iranian Embassy siege". Tell us about the cobblers you've been told, or the complete lies you've come out with.
Thanks to dozer for the suggestion

crowdsourcing bullshitterWhen I was in high school in Texas there was a guy in my PE class who would always tell unbelievable stories about himself. I thought it was a little weird, but it wasn't nearly as weird as what we accidentally discovered: it turned out that we could make up the stories for him and he would agree that they had happened to him. For example, we could say "Hey Jim, do you remember that time that you stopped that bank robbery without any weapons?" and he would respond without hesitation, "yes, those bastards never knew what hit them" and pick up where we left off. He was definitely not trying to be funny, either. The poor guy clearly had some disturbing mental issues, but we were grateful for the entertainment he provided us during the otherwise-unbearable hour of physical education.
