SOUNDS LIKE A LIE, BUT IT’S TRUE

(January, 2020) A guy on Twitter posted the topic, “Tell me a story about yourself the sounds like a lie but is absolutely true.” Here are some of the responses:
– “I have been struck by lightning, sucked into a rip tide, attacked by dogs, and a car fell on me… not all at the same time.”
– “I was shot at by a sniper (a few times!) but they missed by about 3-4 feet.”
– “In college a friend found an ID of a dude over 21 who looked just like me. I used it for months. Then I went to a club and a bouncer starting asking me what’s my address and birthday. I finally said “dude it’s me” and he replied “no dude, it’s ME”. It was.”
– “I once said “Hi Matt” to Matt LeBlanc in London and he responded by hugging me and saying “Thank you for not calling me Joey.”
– “The lead singer from Train used to babysit me.”
– “I wandered away from home once when I was like 3 but because I had the worst diarrhea I left behind a trail of poop wherever I went so my family found me by just following the trails.”
– “OJ Simpson was on the flight I was working from Chicago to LA the day after the murders of his wife and Ron Goldman.”
– “When I was a kid, I got stabbed at Vacation Bible School.”
– “When I was in Pre-K I got caught eating paper (lay off). My teacher sent a note home with me for my parents. I ate the note.”
– “I was shopping at Target, literally in the underwear aisle, when I saw the Dalai Lama walk right past me.”
– “My house burned to the ground on Christmas morning when I was a child. However, our Christmas tree was directly beneath my parents king size waterbed on the top floor. It popped and soaked all the presents preventing them from catching fire.”
