Urban LegendsI'm ashamed to admit it, but I fell for the "Bob Holness played the saxophone on Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street" story some years back. It just seemed so right. I still want it to be true.
What have you fallen for, or even better, what legends have you started?

urban legendsYears ago, i fell for the one about the little old lady getting into an elevator with Eddie Murphy.
For those of you havent heard it, my girlfreinds aunt is on holiday in Hollywood, and going down to breakfast one morning a black guy gets into the elevator and says "down" . The Aunt ( bless ) misunderstands totally and lays down on the floor of the elevator.
This cracks Eddie up , and he laughs so hard that he promises to pay the aunts hotel bill, and sends her a dozen roses... now
i believed this about Mr Murphy for years, and i told everyone i knew about what happened to my girlfreind's aunt.
Turns out its the oldest one in the book, and has been told about everyone from Richard Pryor to Mike Tyson.
what a fool..
