I saw a big, dark shape moving in the cul-de-sac across the street, but didn't really think much of it.

I walked over to the window. I paused. I looked again.... Paused... And then it hit me... There is a fucking elephant outside.
In Canada. In my neighbourhood. For about 30 seconds, I stared at this thing lumbering around slowly. It was picking at trees with it's trunk, but generally not doing much. I can't really describe the feeling of seeing something so out of place. It's funny, but also a little anxiety inducing. My first thought was "who do I call for an elephant on my street?" - - What is a true story that nobody believes?

Your Say

A story nobody believes. Only 6 years ago or so, before we all had iPhones but a few did, my life was changed entirely and irrevocably by the following event. I was telling my story to a small after dinner party about the fantastic time I met Bill Gates and strang him up on a precipice, for a Natl Geo photoshoot.

I know. Is this guy full of it? It's almost believable but just on the cusp of complete baloney. The adult son of my host was swiping his iPhone as I spoke. Then he pipes up: "Is this it?" There was a picture of Bill Gates 65 feet off the deck. The very one I rigged for.

GD internet!
