Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming naked in the Caspian See with friends at night - it was really crazy:).

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a story for you:
Recently a friend told me the following story about the death of his grandfather: "My grandparents used to go to church on Sundays. One day during the sermon, which was long and dry, my grandfather fell asleep.
That week he had been reading a novel about the French Revolution and began to dream that he was a rich aristocrat living in a beautiful chateau in France.
Suddenly there was a commotion outside. A mob of peasants appeared,stormed the house, grabbed him and tied him up, dragged him to the market square, where there was a platform with a guillotine set up. My
grandfather was led up the stairs, a priest muttered a few words to him and then his head was placed in the cradle of the guillotine. A hooded executioner approached and reached up for the lever that
releases the blade. At that moment my grandfather was snoring quite loudly, so my grandmother reached out and pinched him on the back of his neck to wake him up. This was such a shock to my grandfather that
he suffered a heart attack and died on the spot."

My reaction to the story of my friend: "I don't believe a word of that. You made it up." Why did I react in this way, how did I know the story is not true?
