Got a funny story to share?

[Mobsta]

My mother's colleagues' husbands' work colleague and his wife have a son who is 14, who suffers from Aspergers syndrome, which is similar to autism. This story comes from Australia.

Now this young 14 year old lad has a routine.
And every day he has to follow his routine.

Part of his routine consists of watching Lord of the Rings every morning before School. Obviously not the whole movie/series, but he watches it obsessively with his parents permission.

One day, too ill to go to school, the young lad stayed at home. After sending his mother a spate of frantic text messages that afternoon begging her to hurry home, she left work and returned to the house.

Upon finding him covered in scratches and blood he assured her everything was now fine, under control and there was absolutely nothing to worry about. At all. Because apparently, he had caught the hobbit!!

Showing her to a cupboard, he told her it was inside. Not knowing what she expected to actually find, she went about removing various items which had barricaded the hobbit into the cupboard, probably thinking nothing of it.

And when the door opened, out popped.... wait for it... a very upset real live dwarf! The son had spotted 'it' walking down the street and despite the fight the dwarf had put up, he bundled the dwarf inside and locked him in the cupboard!

I'm told this story is absolutely true. It would be nice to verify the tale, so I'll probe further, although I doubt a packet of custard will be involved.

Anyone care to share anything equally amusing or random meanwhile?
A good bank holiday weekend to you all.

Not true I'm afraid, have heard a few different versions of it - the funniest revolving round the effects of LSD.

I would agree without dispute. I cant vouch that this version is true, but...
The tale is 2 connections away from family.
All grown adults, all working in the medical profession.
The story wasn't related as a "My mate down the pub met a bloke who knew a bloke who..."

Most imaginable and unimaginable things have occurred at some point in time...
Best I stop digging this hole...

You came into your hair, answered a knock on your door and the person there thought you had hair gel.

Am I close?

No way, that happened to a friend of mine, and a friend of a friend, and a friend of a friend of a....

I was going to say that, too.

Absolute bks! Someone at work told almost the same story only 2 months ago, and I had heard it 12 months before that!

Even Ricky Gervais has dragged that story out in his routines, I believe he even used the austistic kid and the hobbit version too. He seems to have popularised the teacup/headphones story too...
