This is a true story, but you won't believe it's true.

I don't know anyone who believes that a lamppost can talk.

It happened to me, I swear!

I was walking with my dog down Walker Street when he stopped suddenly and he wouldn't move. He was barking and growling like he had seen something really evil. I heard the words,

"Sit down boy!"

I thought I was hallucinating, but my dog sat down.

I turned around, and I heard,

"Are you alright love!"

I was standing in front of the lamppost.

The lamppost had lips, and it was talking!
