    These are all obvious hoaxes, but pretty funny
    They laughed when I said I was going to be a comedian. They're not laughing now.

    The speech impediment one reminded me of a bloke I met on Saturday night at a gig. He is a DJ on the local community radio station - hosts a blues show 3 days a week. He has absolutely the worst stutter I've ever heard - but on radio, clear as a bell. He has a voice he uses for when he's waffling small talk that has no stutter at all but when he has to stop and think about what he wants to say, like if you ask a question, he can barely get it out. Must be frustrating.

    I think I worked with him, used to laugh at his stutter because he was such an asre to go with it.
    He used to blink in time with the stutter which made it funnier.
    I generally sympathise with people with this ailment but not this one.

    Have you ever seen two people that stutter but don't know each other having a 'conversation'. First off one always thinks the other is taking the p!ss out of him and it can get pretty heated and very funny to listen to.

    I had a similar experience when my Father-in-law met my step-father for the first time (3 weeks before the wedding). They are both called Doug and both a bit deaf, but we hadn't really told them (or they hadn't heard/remembered).
    One's a pom and the other's an Aussie. I love winding them both up.

    The conversation was:
    FIL: G'day, I'm Doug
    SF: Alwight guv, I'm Doug, what's your name
    FIL: I'm Doug, what's your name
    SF: No, I'm Doug, who are you
    FIL: DOUG!!, who are you
    etc... while they are locked in a "Johnnie Howard style" handshake
    eventually...
    ME: Didn't we tell you that you were both called Doug, how silly of me (snigger).
    They laughed when I said I was going to be a comedian. They're not laughing now.
