Keith stories

 * My buddy Keith lived in a graveyard once for a whole year -- it wasn't a dare or nothin', he just got kicked out of his house. He said he NEVER saw a single ghost 'cept for this one time when a ghost stabbed him from behind and took all his money and he might've just been a homeless guy cuz he had a robe on with two eyes cut out his face.
 * My buddy Keith tried camping out on top of a building once. He was shooting crows but the police were too busy tear gassin' him to ask what he was doin' up there. He screamed for an entire year every single time when he opened his eyes! Oh man! At first it was funny, then it just got sad, but then it got funny again. Oh man!
 * I ever tell you about the time Keith and I made fireworks? Now, I didn't know shit about chemistry but Keith figured gasoline burns doesn't it? Heh. Third degree burns on 95% of his body. Man, people in the next city over were calling to complain about the smell of burning skin.
 * I ever tell you about the time Keith tried to deep fry turkey? Third degree burns over 90% his body. His doctor called up like other doctors to look at him cause he'd never seen burns on top of existing burns
 * I ever tell you about the time my buddy Keith drove his car off a cliff, broke both his legs? Hey it's not a funny ha-ha story, so much as it's a make you think story. For instance, windshields look pretty durable, right? Yeah, not the case according to Keith. Son of a bitch flew right through that sucker.
 * I ever tell you about the time my buddy Keith got rolled by a 'gator in a swamp? Man he didn't antagonize it or nothin', we were just tryin' to grab two so we could piss 'em off and get 'em into a fight. Well anyway the third time Keith went under I realized something was wrong so I--
 * I ever tell you about the time my buddy Keith drowned in the tunnel of love? You wouldn't think it could happen cause the water's so shallow, but that's how it gets you man. Overconfidence. Keith was with his lady at the time, and he was yellin' for her to save him, but she didn't want to get wet.
 * I ever tell you about the time me and Keith made home-made bumper cars with ridin' mowers in his back yard? Mower blade wounds over 90% of his body. I didn't run him over either, he somehow managed to fall under his own.
 * One time, the army bombed my buddy Keith. He went campin' and didn't bother to read the signs and I guess they were just testin' bombs that day - all sorts of stuff too, not just regular bombs, like biological nerve gas bombs, shrapnel bombs, these bombs that break up in the air to like a hundred smaller bombs...
 * I ever tell you about the time my buddy Keith fell down an open manhole? He was unconscious down there for like a week. Durin' that time, unbeknowst to Keith, they paved over him. Keith had to--
 * I ever tell you about the time my buddy Keith and I were on the top of a burnin' building, and we had to fight our way down like five floors of zombies an - hey, wait a second. I guess that was you guys. Oh shit, man, I can't wait to tell Keith about that one!
 * I ever tell you about the time my buddy Keith fell out the rollercoaster? Yeah he didn't drop far, mind you, just onto the tracks, but the carnival people wouldn't stop the ride cause all the other people paid good money and Keith snook on for free, so he had to dodge for like twenty minutes or so.
 * Man, all this mud reminds me of my friend Keith. Yeah, he was gonna build a shack once, to live in an' all- and I know most people where they build houses and they become shacks -but Keith, he was about jumping right t' the shack stage. But he had no wood, so he got some mud and was making what we were all thinking was gonna be these adobe bricks, ya know, like when them people out west make bricks and shit. Well, he had mud and-.
 * I ever tell you about the time me and Keith snuck a paint ball gun on a roller coaster? I never heard'a anybody else doin' it, so I thought we might'a invented a sport so Keith called the patent office but-.
 * Do you know what "suck the heads" means? 'Cuz I came down here wi' Keith once, an' HE didn't know. I mean, it ain't nothin' bad. It's about eatin'.
 * Did I ever tell you guys about the time me and Keith filled up water balloons with our own-.
