Urban myths

[PaulPowerScreamer]

How about the "friend of a friend" who went to a cafe and ordered a cup of coffee and a kit kat. The cafe was quite full so he had to share a table with another guy. He sat down, took a sip of his coffee and was about to open his kit kat when the other guy reaches over, opens the kit kat, breaks a finger off and eats it!

The guy is stunned and doesn't know how to react, it seemed a bit petty to kick off over a kit kat so he calmly breaks off a finger and eats it. After a couple of minutes the other guy goes and eats another finger!

He's now fuming but he'd had a hard day and wasn't in the mood for an argument so he defiantly ate the last finger without saying a word. The other guy finishes his drink and gets up to leave and they glare at each other for a fraction of a second before he walks out.

Relieved, he finishes his coffee, picks up his newspaper and finds his own unopened kit kat underneath.

Douglas Adams tells a version of this story, I think it was in So Long and Thanks for All the Fish but I'd heard this version years earlier.

He felt it necessary to join us in the showers after the sessions. So he might have done.

To be fair I was a sexy kid.

A man stopped in a van near the Aldwych and asked if I wanted to buy some speakers. He opened a door and showed me some massive speakers. I said no thanks and that was that. I'm sure that was a myth

People selling crap out of vans is nothing new. The Real Hustle have done that one a few times. Good luck rarely comes to find you so you know it’s faulty or made to look far better than what it really is.

The sweetcorn under the foreskin story can’t be true, can it?

 

[Blue Mist]

The thread about a prisoner on the roof of Strangeways reminded of one, although it may have been true.....
During the 1990 riot the cops wanted to go into the prison on the first day and reclaim it. Thatcher stopped them as the publicity deflected people away from the Poll Tax riots.
Urban myth ?

The man who did the voice of Michael Jackson in The Simpsons (where Homer gets sectioned and shares a cell with him) was actually Michael Jackson but credited as something like John Jay Smith.

Wacko Jacko was a fan of the show and thought it was funny.
