I know you have one... we have all heard about the little old lady that tried to dry the cat in the microwave...the story of the Bloomingdale's cookie recipe...the dog that fetched a stick of dynamite.

My favorite urban legend is that McDonald's allegedly uses worm meat,instead of hamburger meat when they make their burgers. All the time when I was growing up in the 1970's as a little kid,there were ALOT of people that insisted that this urban legend was true!!

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is where tourists in Mexico came back to find their hotel room had been robbed all but their camera and toothbrushes, and when they get home and develop the film, they see the robbers took pictures of themselves with the toothbrushes up their butts - toothbrushes the tourists had been using since then.
(Why they'd bother to bring
Miksi said it all depends on how big the donut holes were.. I think the ones here must be bigger. *snicker*
And then Miksi gave me this to share with you, although, it isn't an urban legend, it is funny and there is a story about it happening:
Take three pigs, and label them 1, 2, and 4. Then let them loose around a shopping mall, or hospital, or other large building. When they find the pigs they'll wonder where #3 is and continue looking.
ROFLMAO!!!
That is DELICIOUSLY cruel!!!
