the dumbest guy I knew....
OK, I know its supposed to be MY gullible moment, but to hell with it.

when we were young lads there was one kid in our 'gang'. Noone could ever figure out who's friend he actually was... but any time we were out playing in the street or geting up to mischief he was always there... you probably know they type... lots of groups have them. He was as dumb as a housebrick.

This may sound cruel but we mostly tolerated him for the fun he offered. Ya see, We used to compete to see who could make him believe the stupidest thing.

I wont bore you with a list... but here are the best two....

1: We convinced him that 'calories' were visible, and by picking these small imaginary particles out of a glass of coke.. we made it diet coke. He spent HOURS staring into a glass trying to spot them before finally proclaiming he could...

2: As little tykes who got up to know good, we, on occasion, tried sniffing lighter fluid. It was the fad of the day after all. Aaaanyway, one of our gang told him it was stronger when lit, and passed him a LIT zippo.... no.... surely not..... he wouldn't..... YUP... pulled it to his nose, took a nice long drag, burned out his nostrils, sreamed, and never trusted us again.

I'm guessing he works for the government now. :)

sniffing lighter gas is BAD.
it can make you hallucinate that you've entered a horticultural show with a prize-winning marrow.
