One of the better stories I told to these guys I was working with was about when I was in the Navy and we were crossing the equator and at the point of crossing it had gotten so hot due to global warming that the ship's superstructure began to melt -the gun barrels were drooping down, steel masts bending over like hot wax candles, etc, so then us crew had to at once muster on deck with crowbar and hammers pry and hammer things back in shape quickly before the steel cooled off too much and became hardened out of shape.
I actually couldn't believe some guys were seriously gullible enough to take me seriously.
Once I told the story about how a friend and I went diving three miles from shore in an inflatable boat. My friend accidentally (of course) set the boat on fire and we were out there in full scuba gear, three miles from shore with the wind and waves carrying us out to sea. One of them asked in a very alarmed voice, Oh my gosh, what happened? I said, "I drowned, of course." No one believed it but they sure got a good laugh. Actually we were rescued before we had swum back to shore.
