Recently, we have been getting into the habit of busting out our craziest stories. And one thing we have found is that often when you tell a story that you think is so special and so unique, the person you tell the story to has a similar/better story.

A couple of examples:

The Holiday Party Meets the Worm

I have this story from the boom years of the internet, where we had this pretty kickin’ company holiday party. There was lots of laughing, drinking, and dancing. Well after a while, one of my co workers’ wife (who was in this full length dress) starts doing the worm. Violently. To the point where I thought I was eye level with the bottom of her shoes.

Pretty good story. So I thought. Until I told it to a friend who told me that he had seen someone do the worm at a party also. But in his story, the person accidently slipped, hit his chin on the floor, and knocked himself out cold.

The Marriage Proposal Postponed due to Altitude sickness
Natalie has two of these stories and I have one, where the marriage proposal takes place north of 10,000 ft. and has to be posponed due to altitude sickness.

The Raw Food party that Turns into Freak Fest
This one is completely unverified, but Natalie says that she has heard a couple of stories where a raw food dinner party turns into an enzyme fuled love fest.

The Bike Messenger ending up as Cargo
This is a story that I have heard two maybe three times. The happy bike messenger is riding down the street. Maybe not paying as much attention as he/she should be looking around at the birds and flowers. Happy bike messenger ends up running into the back of a truck only to land in the cab. Truck starts driving away with bike messenger in the back. Bike messenger has to knock on the little window to get driver’s attention, and let them out.
