competition: best/worst lie you ever told

I once told a really big lie.

It was about how I could fly.

I told people that if they weighed less than 100 lbs, and they put canvas and nailed it to really light wood, they would be able to fly like a bird.

So, they didn't believe me (naturally). I told them it worked and even explained the physics behind how it worked.

Anyways, one dumb ass believed me and tried to take to the air.

He climbed on top of the community center in our town and jumped off...The canvas held onto him for about 5 seconds and he fell down about 20-30 feet.

He would have kicked my ass if not for the fact that he couldn't get up.

We were laughing for days after that.
