When the boyfriend pulls one on you

Krissy in Boston reports that the dead pigeons on the fence by the Newton YMCA are, in fact, merely pieces of wood and that Matt thought he was having a good one at her expense:

... BUT IN MY DEFENSE, THEY REALLY LOOK LIKE PIGEONS! ... Man, I should have learned my lesson after a few years ago when my dad managed to convince me that cows always walk in rows of four.

It's okay, Krissy. Mine convinced me that men's deodorant has to be applied in a certain direction so that the pores can be sealed closed.

I have a good one. I was about 21 and my ex-husband was driving me through the country. I am from the suburbs but it's not like I haven't seen a cow before. Anyways, we were driving along and I saw all these cows on the side of a steep hill. I made a remark of some kind but I think it was more along the lines of there were a lot of cows. He comes back with " well they are hill cows and always group alot like that" of course I HAD to ask what a hill cow was. So without a beat he says " they're called that because they only graze on hills, and the legs on one side are shorter than the other to keep them from tipping down the hill" Ya, that is why he is my EX.

My husband is English. In

My husband is English. In his home town, they pronounce "don't" as "divn't". After a night of drinking, he had me almost convinced that the automated signs at the crosswalks in his town said "Divn't Walk"....
