Urban myths

[Bluemoon dan]

Had something like that happen in real life. My ex's uncle died so we went to the funeral then back to the house afterwards. We were in the lounge, with another couple we didn't know and were chatting to them. Then my ex saw a picture on the shelf behind us, which was a wedding picture of her uncle and aunt, with their two bridesmaids. She said one was her and the other bridesmaid turned out to be the woman we were talking to.

Then the husband introduced himself and he turned out to be someone I'd known at primary school. Joe had been in the year above me but he was a close pal of my cousin, who was also in that year.

Anyone else hear the faint twanging of banjos?

I recall rumours about Prince having a rib or two removed so he could fellate himself.

David Bowie and Marilyn Manson were two others rumoured to have done this.

Marilyn manson denied it didn't he?

There’s another Amsterdam stag night story

Stag on stage with stripper at a live sex show. She handcuffs him to something so he can’t get away. Security staff appear and surround the stage so nobody can get to him. Stripper disappears and a 6’4” gimp appears from backstage and proceeds to bum him into next week lol

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.

That not an urban myth that's true.

Jackson also wrote "Do The Bartman" song

Nottingham Universities have a ratio of 5:1 women to men.

The flakes of gold in Goldschlager cut the inside of your throat so that the alcohol gets in to your system quicker.

2 veritable old chestnuts.

1. Alligators in the New York sewer system. Allegedly several were bought as babies but flushed down the loo, unwanted, as they grew bigger. They then formed a colony and some were really massive beasts. Many natives still firmly believe this although the cold winter temperatures and lack of feeding opportunities would mitigate against this. Also how big would the toilets have to be. Some were in fact disposed of in rivers or lakes surrounding the city and wouldn't have lasted long.

2. A homeless person down on his luck cannot believe his luck when a well dressed guy approaches him to offer a slap up meal and drinks. However, the drinks are spiked and he swiftly passes out. On waking many hours later in a cheap hotel bath tub he is really ill, feels a surgical bandage round his abdomen and has the desk clerk call an ambulance. On arrival at the hospital it is confirmed that his left kidney has been removed.
