That Scotland always qualified for world cups....growing up was a sore learning curve

I used to believe there was a person who lived in the moon.  Why this guy used to come to our door for my mums pools coupon was never clear to me.

When I looked up and heard a plane but couldn't see it I thought they were actual invisible planes.

I used to wonder how they made fake fire for movies as I couldn't believe they'd set people or buildings on fire for real.

Freddie Kruger was buried in a field in my school.

Black folk were naturally good at running events in the athletics because they were used to running from bombs.

Inward, xenophobic north east of Scotland upbringing right there.

My sister's pal believed you had to hold your breath going through the Clyde Tunnel due to a lack of air pressure. That's what her dad told her. I discovered this fact driving them through the tunnel when she was in fact 16.

A kid when I was in primary school told everyone that women had a tiny penis hidden in their vagina and that it popped out when they peed.  The same kid said that your cock bled when you have sex.

I was a skeptic but I kept my own counsel.

When we were in first year, a guy in the year above told us at the end of first year all the guys were given a homosexuality test by the school nurse.

First we would be shown scud, if we didn't get wood, we were to have a cold spoon held against the shaft, if we still didn't get wood, we were to have our shafts jabbed with a sharp pin, if we still didn't get wood, we were gay.

We believed him!
