My most gullible momentSomeone once told me that gullible wasn't in the dictionary and I went, "yeah yeah ha ha" but when they were gone that didn't stop me checking. What was YOUR most gullible moment? Zero points for buying an icon on b3ta.

Hang on, I remember one!I spent most of my life hearing about my war hero grandpa, how he fought in New Guinea, helped defeat the invading Japanese, etc etc etc.
He died when I was young, but these stories were family legend and passed around each Christmas... So a couple of years ago I applied to the War Commission for a copy of his service record.
Turns out he never left Australia, got locked up for dereliction of duty and being drunk a few times and went awol to visit my grandma for a couple of months.
All in all it was a very enlightening read for myself and my family.
I have a cousin who STILL thinks I made the lot up on photoshop and marches in grandpa's medals every ANZAC day.
Knowing what I now do of grandpa, he probably thinks that's hysterical.
