Not my most gullible moment but worth a mention
I used to be a bit of a Trekkie but gradually my attention started to wane after a few lacklustre episodes of DS9 and the fact that I now had a girlfriend that hated the series. Some of my friends stuck with it and I would usually arrange to meet them at the pub once a week to hear what happened (A bit like I do nowadays with football).

As the entire series drew to a close a few mates were talking about what they thought would happen as a show finale . Amongst my mates was a bloke called Rob. He is a guy that QOTW was made for as I have an endless number of stories about him and his habits (He moved in with me for a few months and it was a few months I will never forget). Rob was never the sharpest knife in the drawer and would never take anyone else's opinion at hand in an argument (The Michael Jackson invented dance argument is still a nasty topic of conversation 4 years later).

Anywhoo, we were sat round the table and Ben (another mate of mine) casually mentions that he has heard from a decent source that they were planning on having an old minor part character called Gul ible coming back and killing off the cardassian Dukat.

We laughed at the joke and carried on our conversation.

A few months later and DS9 has ended, I pop down the local a little late for once and find my mates pissing themselves at Rob. This is nothing unusual but for once Rob seemed genuinely angry. I couldn't get nothing from anyone else as they were too busy laughing at him so I asked Rob. Turns out that he believed Bens story a while back and refused to believe that it was a pun, even after I had explained it to him. Rob then left the pub, went home and searched through all available resources he knew to find the character called Gul ible (Just to prove his point).

I still dont know if he gets the joke to this day. Some people are permanently gullible.
