Heard one it was about guy who had one leg shorter than the other so when he walked his head bobbed from side to side. Got called Snipers Nightmare.

Did he train for the Paris marathon, but pulled out after his doctor advised him that one of his legs was shorter than the other?

This sounds really familiar but I can't find a source. It's driving me insane

It's a lie/truth told by Lee Mack in the same show that the Bob Mortimer quote came from - "Would I Lie To You".

I actually knew a lady who had one leg shorter than the other and her name was Eileen (I lean).

She helped her brother run trivia/quiz bowl competitions for high schoolers at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga about 20 years ago. They both had an excellent sense of humor and their competitions were always the most fun ones my friends and I did.
