*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR TALL TALE ***
Another author that comes to mind is Larry Niven.  He has a whole series
of short stories that take place in a bar, informally known as the "Draco
Tavern" series.  They tend to revolve around a non-human race known as
the chirpsithra, who say things that most sentient races find hard to believe
... and which just might be true.  Amusing stories.  You can find them in
two books, "Convergent Series" and "Limits."
