    In college, I once watched a friend convince a girl in my dorm that the Bangles had written "Hazy Shade of Winter", and Simon and Garfunkel had covered it.https://twitter.com/dhookstead/status/1242907827749949452 …

    During my time in college, I successfully convinced a woman that Red Dawn was a true story and America had won a nuclear war with the Soviet Union. I hope this walk down memory lane brightens up your day during coronavirus isolation. READ IT HERE: https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/25/flashback-david-hookstead-wisconsin-college-red-dawn/ …

        I can report that I once convinced my wife that Pierce Brosnan had a brother named "Poke" who was also an actor. In her defense, she was semi-asleep, and eventually woke up enough to start whacking me on the head.

        I convinced numerous people in college that the jackalope hanging in my room was real, that my grandfather had shot it back in the 40s, and that jackalopes had since been hunted to extinction.

        One time in college I convinced several employers that they should extend offers to me - little did any of them know what they would be in for ;)

        We convinced a roommate who wanted to drive across the state line into an earlier time zone so he could have his first legal drink an hour early that he wouldn’t get served, because he was only legal in the time zone of his drivers license.

        Mimes visited my HS and we convinced the class VP to introduce their performance as "The Dance of the Wild Rabbits". That...wasn't even close. Damn near peed when he announced that BS to the assembly.
