Be it the local pub bullshitter or local character, or a friend you've had?

Knew a girl once that didn’t understand Spirograph because they didn’t look anything like spiders.
She used to come out with some absolute belters.
Someone made a sarcastic comment about Thatcher being called the Iron Lady because she loved ironing and she simply couldn’t fathom it.
Clive. Our local pub bullshitter. Ten pints of John Smiths in he’d regale us with tales of his days in the SAS, as a pro rugby player, as a mercenary working in SE Asia, the myriad beautiful women he’d bedded all over the world, how he’d once beaten five men in a violent pub brawl etc etc. We’d listen pretending to be fascinated then completely piss ourselves when he waddled off for one of his numerous toilet visits. By all accounts he’d rarely left our hometown in his life and he looked like Penfold from Dangermouse.
Was on a date, we were looking at a paper map, a bit lost. She said “why doesn’t this map have a ‘you are here’ arrow”!
Bloke I worked with once called Norm. Reckoned he went round a top golf course in the Caribbean with only a 5 iron and a snooker cue, and still came round under par. He lived in Colchester and hardly ever left. There’s a few more if I can remember.
