The Drug Squad
Back when I was at school, I knew a guy that lied near-constantly to promote himself as a hardened hero-type. Most of his claims were related to him being a local hero for the prostitutes of Dundee, whom he apparently protected by beating people up. Over the years his stories became increasingly ridiculous, and culminated in the revelation of "The Drug Squad", who reportedly drove around the streets at night in a van and shot anyone that was using drugs. He kept all of their guns at his house, in his garage, in a fridge.

Yes, in a fridge.


Another guy in the same year seemed to have the opposite motive. He claimed:

- that he had raped one of my classmates and broken her arm
- that he was having a relationship with a 9-year-old girl
- that he regularly smoked heroin

and, most confusingly:

- that his uncle was the manager of NASA, and had taken him into space.

I wouldn't be surprised if at least some of them were now true, mind you...
