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?

Dentists Are Also Bastards!
A while back I was having a conversation with a mate, amidst a larger group of friends, in the pub. Such was his level of drunkeness he was shouting most of his conversations loud enough to get us nasty stares from the landlord. "Keep it down big mouth!" someone said. The mate turned round indignant and informed everyone that he was far from a big mouth, the dentist had removed two of his teeth as his mouth was actually too small.
"Me too!" Three of our friends said in unison and then looked at each other accusingly. "Which one's?" I asked suddenly very intrigued. "Bottom jaw, behind the canines." he replied, slightly unnerved by the three friends. "Behind the canines!" The other five of us responded in unison, the whole conversation eerily mirroring the "Eagle River!" scene from Hot Shots.
We all compared teeth and found that all of us had had the same two teeth removed. Such was the amazingness of this coincidence we were rabbitting on about it to complete strangers for the next few days and guess what? Every single person from our school around our age was missing the exact same set of two teeth. It turned out it was all a scam so that the dentists could charge more. Bastards! So if your dentist tells you your mouth is too small, he is trying on his own, fun yet expensive, urban myth, use said mouth to tell him to fuck off. Make him put the drill down first mind.
