Strangest things you have ever seen firsthand.

[Spanky]

When I was five or six years old . . .
My father sat in front of me.  He put up one hand, facing me, then used his other hand to slide the thumb on the facing hand to move and slide his thumb along the top of his index, facing, hand.  He moved his thumb along the facing hand out, then back to the original position.
Amazing.  At the time, it was the strangest thing I'd ever seen, first hand.

I have seen many strange things in my time. I would like to know the strangest things you have ever seen, or that have ever happened to you firsthand, not on you tube or somewhere else on the internet. It can be a triple rainbow, a UFO sighting, a biker gang that was completely made up of furries. The only rules are that they be firsthand, and true. I have no way of fact checking, so please don't just make things up. I will start.

One morning years ago my wife, daughter, and I were getting breakfast at McDonalds. While sitting at the drive through I looked over to the next parking lot and saw a man with no legs in a wheelchair making very intense eye contact with me. This made me curious, so unfortunately I took a closer look. What I saw still haunts me to this day. He had his very engorged weenis out, and was going to town on himself right there in the parking lot in front of god and everybody, while staring at me intensely. Not my wife, but me. Luckily our order was done before he was, and we drove away.

So there it is, one of the strangest that I have ever seen. Your turn.

I have had a few (still do) and family members who have been involved we agreed no to talk openly about it since its brought too many problems. Great topic though!

Thank you LuvHandles, very glad you like. Sudsy that is horrific but it is kind of what I was looking for when I started this thread, things that are so authentic they have to be real. Ice thanks as always, you are so freaking hilarious, especially the Peter Parker/Spiderman exit. Thank you Spanky, great story and play on words. And a big thank you to all contributors.

Fireworks----So when I was about five I had an uncle who made some extra money one 4th of July selling fireworks. He kept two boxes of bottle rockets/ roman candles etc. One of my older cousins gave me a lit punk so I would leave them alone. On the porch was a full unopened pack of bottle rockets. So me in my five year old wisdom and being completely unattended as most kids were those days, took the punk and lit the box of 250 bottle rockets. It started spinning, and bottle rockets started shooting into the house end everywhere else you can imagine. My aunts and uncles were drunk and thought they were under fire. People were running everywhere, jumping behind chairs and couches. They were all drunk off of their ass and for all they knew it was the apocalypse. Luckily none of them hit my uncles grand stash, but I got one of the worst beatings of my life that night. I still blame my cousins but whatever. There's my story for today. Hope everyone out there is doing well.-Ivor

Lol, nice one Tommygun, this time I am not moving to Canada or Australia, I am building a bomb shelter, at least if the parasitic alien that lives on top of said candidates head wins. Can you imagine his foreign policy. Pretty scary... How long before the nuclear stockpiles start flying to and fro, at least in four years. Its like the pit and the pendulum in this country...Intelligence, ignorance, rinse and repeat and so the beat goes on...

And Bush jr being elected twice was one of the most strange and disheartening things I have seen in my life. Still blame him for Hunter S Thompson taking the opportunity to kill himself after the reelection. He had lost all faith and he was a big time wonk who couldn't take where we were headed. But we have been headed there slowly but surely since Roosevelt died and the incumbent failed haberdasher took his place. Anarchy rules in times like these.
