funny stories

these are a few stories our friends told us last nite
first one: our friend (who shall remain nameless) was a lifeguard supervisor at a local pool back in canada. part of being supervisor meant he had to be trained in how to teach all the classes at the pool (including aquasize) so that he could teach them if an instructor didn’t show up. the final step of training in how to teach was that they taught a class. he was learning how to do aquasize and not really enjoying it. then the day came to teach his first class. he got up infront of a group of 50 older ladies and started the class. he was pretty unco-ordinated with the moves and the ladies heckled him!!! he was so embarrassed he ran off the pool deck never to teach aquasize again.
second story: same guy. he’s up a mountain trying snowboarding for the first time. he’s on the bunny hill and he takes a hard fall and hurts his wrist. he’s a little embarrassed to tell anyone it hurts so he just says to his girlfriend that he’s gonna go into the pub for a bit. she comes in a bit later and they’re sitting with friends having a drink. he was just sitting quietly so his girlfriend asked him if he was ok. he says his wrist still hurts so she asks to see it. he pulls up his sleeve and the bone is poking at a funny angle. she got him in the car and drove him to the hospital right away to get his broken wrist put in a cast. he’s still embarrassed about breaking his wrist on the bunny hill (but the official story is just he broke his wrist snowboarding but was so tough he went to the pub for a drink first before heading to the hospital).
thirds story: wife of guy in first 2 stories. she has ALWAYS lied to her parents about things (and her poor husband is a TERRIBLE liar—he can’t even take it when she’s the one lying and usually tells her parents that she’s lying before she can finish the story). i think this story was one of her biggest lies ever. when she was 16 and just got her liscence her parents let her take the car to the next town to do her lifeguard training with a friend. during the training they had a short break so her and her friend decided to to go the 7-11. she raced into the parking lot and hit one of those high curb things in the lot and took out the fog lights and everything on the bottom of the front of the car. she knew she wouldn’t be allowed to take the car again for a while if she told her parents so she decided to lie. she had to drive home late that nite and it was along a road that sometimes has boulders along the road. when she got home her parents were asleep. she ran into their room putting on a very distressed act and told them on the way home there was a boulder in the road and she didn’t see it cuz it was dark and she hit it and damaged the front of the car. her parents told her just go to bed and we’ll look into it in the morning. Next morning. her parents take the car to the mechanic who says that the damage was over $x which ment it had to be reported to the police and the insurance company. he also told them to tell the police and insurance company the boulder was moving at the time so that insurance would cover it. so now her lie had to grow and she had to make statements to the police and the insurance company. then a friend of theirs told them that the same thing had happened to her (for real) only the insurance company didn’t believe her and she actually had to find the boulder that had her cars paint on it and put it on the desk of the insurance agency). so our friends dad drove her out to where she said she hit the boulder and told her to find the boulder that she hit. she saw one that didn’t have snow on it so she said it was that one. her dad loaded it in the car and took it home. turned out the insurance agency believed her and she didn’t need the boulder. her dad didn’t get rid of it though. he put it in the front yard and while she lived at home for the next 5 years she had to look at it everytime she went out front and be reminded of her lies (i’m sure her dad probably knew it was all a big lie and put that boulder there to remind her of her lies)
