The one about the guy who does LSD and spends the rest of his life in a padded room because he either A) thinks he's a glass of orange juice and is afraid he'll spill himself or B) he thinks he's an orange and wants to peel himself.

I've had multiple people swear to me that this happened to "a friend of a friend" but it's actually just a widespread urban legend that probably dates back to the 60s.

I remember hearing that one back in the 70's.

So even if a cheerleader did that, why would she need her stomach pumped? Is it toxic? I'm not gonna look it up or do the math, but it doesn't seem like a dozen 'servings' would amount to all that much volume. Can't be anything in it all that bad to have to have a stomach pump. Heck, it's 'natural', maybe even 'organic'? Gluten free? Non-GMO? Makes no sense.

And just to be clear, before some pervert jumps in - no, I've never been the one on that end of the BJ.

If you ate a potato chip and didn't wait at least 2 hours before jumping in the pool, you would immediately get a stomach cramp and drown.

A psychic predicted the Cane River bridge in Natchitoches will fall down during the Christmas Lights.

Some female celebrity came out as lesbian on a talk show: The first time I heard it was Olivia Newton John but there have been a bunch of others since then.

More folklore than urban legend: never leave a cat alone with a baby. The cat will smother it.
