I watch the Graham Norton show and the guests always have some hilarious story to tell about a thing that happened, either big or small.
I don't have any good anecdotes.
Are these people just making shit up?
What's your best anecdote?

I have a couple of good ones. They're not funny, but they are interesting.
The first one was when I got stranded in the middle of the Australian desert when our car got a puncture in its fuel tank.
We weren't even on the main highway - we had decided to go up the Oodnadatta Track - 1000 miles of dirt track in the middle of nowhere. There was noting to do but wait. Once the flies found us, it was unbearable.
Second was on a week-long dive boat. About 500 miles off the coast of Australia, halfway to Sumatra. It was a night dive, the boat stops, you get your gear on, the captain says "20 metres down is the top of a volcano, off you go." So you jump into the ocean, it's pitch black, you're 500 miles from land and you start to drop. Sinking, sinking, sinking, going down into the ocean into the gloom. Just deep and black.... further down, further down, further down.....

When I was about 15, me and my friends regularly got stoned at my house at the weekend (home-made bong) and I threw such a massive whitey (as we called them) and became so paranoid that I couldn't even talk. I got up and ushered people out of the house and they all followed me, chuckling and pissing about, until I got to the local phone box (long before mobile phones) and we just stood there outside that phone box for ages.
Days later, I informed them that the reason I went there is because I was so convinced that I was going to die that I wanted them to be able to phone an ambulance as quickly as possible.
I gave up cannabis not long after that.

I think our earlier convo about what leads to what would make an excellent anecdote. Just imagine the look on Graham Nortonβs face as you go through each step!!

It's the funniest story really. When I was a kid in Houston I went to space camp at NASA. Very exciting time for a kid.
We spent a few days there. Well on the last night me and a couple of friends snuck onto the space shuttle that was going to be launched the next day.
We just played with the instruments and controls and stuff pretending we were spacemen.
Anyways we fell asleep in the shuttle and no one knew we were on board. When we woke up....we were in space!!
It's was awesome. Eventually the space dudes found us and we all have a huge laugh over it. Spent three days in space and got cool t shirts when we came back:))

I remember when Space Camp came out in cinemas and there was a promotion about it on a nightly current affairs show that was on at the time, named βDay by Dayβ, hosted by Mark Day. It was 1986. Great anecdote.
