It was poplular on the radio once. (Before computers, probably). It ended ... "the bucket hit the ground, breaking and spilling the bricks. Of course, I was now heavier than the bucket, and so started down from the fourth floor , again passing the bucket half-way, suffering more lacerations. I then hit the ground, breaking my leg. At this stage I must have panicked, and I let go of the rope. The bucket fell again, hitting me on the head. I respectfully apply for sick leave." Urban legends have a long history. |

| 71432 | 2002-08-16 06:01:00 | An adaption of the electrocuted walkman listener happened in Kerikeri where my parents live a few years back. A farmer was working in his rotary milking shed. These have lots of cool electrical things to go wrong. His 6yo son was with him, as was the 17yo farmhand. The son gave Dad a marble he was playing with to look after. Dad put it in his overalls pocket. The pocket had a hole, and eventually the marble found its way into the farmers gumboot. He was able to work it between his toes where it was comfortable as he didn't have timw to take it out whilst milking (or couldn't be bothered). Anyway, eventually the marble came loose, and got under his foot. He hell onto the steel framework of the milking machine for balance, and started to shake his foot to dislodge the marble. The farmhand walked in, and thought his boss was being electrocuted and hit the farmer on the arm with a broom breaking his arm. The problem is - you can't really fire him either as he was trying to save your life! G P - it must be true, I heard it on the KK gossip tree. |

| 71433 | 2002-08-16 07:40:00 | I think that this one is rather good. Bad Day at Suicide Rock Normandy, France - Jacques LeFevrier left nothing to chance when he decided to commit suicide. He stood at the top of a tall cliff and tied a noose around his neck. He tied the other end of the rope to a large rock. He drank some poison and set fire to his clothes. He even tried to shoot himself at the last moment. He jumped and fired the pistol. The bullet missed him completely, but cut through the hanging rope instead. Freed of the threat of hanging, Mr. LeFevrier plunged into the sea. The sudden plunge into the freezing waters extinguished the flames and apparently made him vomit the poison as well. He was dragged out of the water by witnesses on the beach below the cliff and was taken to a hospital, where he died of hypothermia. |

| 71434 | 2002-08-16 07:53:00 | Well that makes my day seem rather cruisey!:D - Thanks susan > Reminds me of the time our little hunter caught a BIG > rat down in the compost bin. Boy have i got some of those stories too susan. Accept we have got a cat door and our cats insist on bringing their occasional rat catch in to show us of course!X-( Total Kaos follows!!! (not much different to when they bring a tiny mouse in either, accept we run around trying to catch the mice and save them (from a distance, i might add) so they aren't tortured all night at the whim of the cat!!) :8} - out of interest anybody ever noticed how cats will never eat rats!!! |

| 71439 | 2002-08-16 09:14:00 | OK, that's it. Bruce, can you ring my boss please and say I won't be in to work Monday? Mt Eden is now out of bounds! Graham L - Mum and Dad have the record of the bricklayers. Have heard it many times since childhood. Rats. One day one of the cats brought a mouse in and let it loose. Right, we think, we'll Catch It. One hour later... all furniture (including piano) away from the walls, the back off the stove... it went to earth in the corner behind the filing cabinet. One labrador at each opening - they had spent the hour getting in the way - husband drops a piece of 4" x 2" down the back of the cabinet and kills the mouse. These days if there is a mouse, rat or rabbit loose with an interested audience I cast disillusioned glances at it and leave the room. Another day I arrive home at 2am (after leaving husband in hospital), walk up the stairs, open the door and there are 3 cats, 1 labrador and... an opossum - staring at me. A couple of minutes staring back and it was time for the gardening gloves. One dead possum picked up by it's tail and biffed over the cliff. Then to bed. |
