An oldie but goodie
A line at the Heaven's Gate. St. Peter asks the first one in line: "Have you ever cheated on your wife?". The guy answers "nope!". St. Peter replies: "Ok, take the key to a Rolls Royce, drive down this road ad you'll get right to heaven. Off you go!". He asks the next one if he ever cheated on his wife. The guy mumbles: "Well, you know, there was one occurance when, you know, I met my first love from high school and she told me that all those years she dreamed of making love to me just once and...". St. Peter replies, "oh, well...ok, here are the keys to the WV Bug. Drive down this road and you'll get to Heaven. Next one! Have you ever cheated on your wife?" The third guy replies - "Yep!". Ok, replies St. Peter, grab this bicycle and ride in this direction. The guy mounts the bike and rides down the road. Suddenly he sees a Rolls Royce parked on the side and the first guy crying. He stops to find out what is wrong. The first guy explains: "I just saw my wife. She was walking!!!".
"People are stupid ... almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true ... they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool." -- Wizard's First Rule
