Urban Legends
I'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?

Did you know gullible isn't in the dictionary?
I didn't fall for the old "gullible isn't in the dictionary" schtick in the same way others here have. My dad has a certain method-acting ability and said to me, in all seriousness, "Did you know gullible isn't in the dictionary?" (I was about 14). Instead of believing him, I believed that he believed it, and indignantly squeaked "Yes, it is, look!!!" while pulling out our battered old Macquarie.
I still have an unfortunate tendency to believe, not urban legends, but that the people who TELL me them believe them. Is it my fault I'm surrounded by thickos?
