I was on patrol the other night when a chapleapt out in front of my vehicle and asked that I escort him home as he was afraid of the lions that were in the woods.
I told him that there weren't any lions in Hampshire, only in Sussex, near Worthing.
He seemed happy with that.

when i was living in cambridge we used to head out on a friday night. we alsways seemed to bump into a older bloke who always had something different strapped to his head....you know , the big bit of cord over teh object on his head and right down under his chin comedy style.........he was very well dressed aswell which made it even odder

the 1st time we saw him it was a loaf of bread.

2nd  4 pints of semi skimmed milk

3rd bag of flour

4th a whole fresh salmon


nothing as strange as people...

we had one near us used to have a rubber chicken straped to his head, and used to wear his socks on his hands funny realy it could be any of us it only takes somthing very small to tip pepole from what us folks call normal but what is normal?  but I allways say Im not weared just unique. as are they, which is why its so refreshing to see how others react to pepole who are unique.

--- Quote ---Characteristics
Psychologist Dr. David Weeks mentions people with a mental illness "suffer" from their behavior while healthy eccentrics are quite happy.[clarify] He even states eccentrics are less prone to mental illness than everyone else. According to studies, there are fifteen distinctive characteristics that differentiate a healthy eccentric person from a regular person or someone who has a mental illness (although some may not always apply). The first five are in most people regarded as eccentric:[citation needed]

Nonconforming attitude
Creative
Intense curiosity
Idealistic
Happy obsession with a hobby or hobbies
Known very early in his or her childhood they were different from others
Highly intelligent
Opinionated and outspoken
Noncompetitive
Unusual living or eating habits
Not interested in the opinions or company of others
Mischievous sense of humor
Single
Eldest or only child
Bad speller[2] (usually uncommon)

Mind you I think "Happy obsession with a hobby" covers most of us here.  :lol:
