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?

Luckily I'll leave this job shortly.....
Just taken a temp job with 9 other fresh-faced recruits at a government-department run call centre. We're supposed to be taking calls and providing information about a new government initiative (but ironically I can't tell YOU about it); however this new thingy is so badly publicised that we've been there a week AND TO DATE NOT ONE CALL!!! So, everyone's bored, and starting to fiddle with the mainframe-based system. We're sort of allowed to waste a bit of time unofficially, so lots of the others are having fun messaging each other. I've convinced them that the monitoring system only snoops for keywords that are naughty, so everyone is doing a B3ta-esque misspelling thing. Actually, though, EVERY SINGLE MESSAGE IS RECORDED and due to general management boredom too will eventually be scanned. Ha ha. Today I sort of informally chatted with them all and no-one had heard of B3ta before so I think our little secret's safe here, yes? Or, um, well, I did mention B3ta, didn't I, and um, they are bored, um...
