Urban Legends: From The Vanishing Hitchhiker to Wendy's Wormburgers and Beyond...

Dang snakes fall out of the trees into your boat.
I always laugh at the guys who carry guns for just such a thing.
"Uhhh, so if the snake falls into the bottom of your boat, you're going to shoot it. In the bottom... of your boat. You didn't do real well in school, did you?"

Yoko liking someone would have been quite a sight.

As far as killing, I’m not sure. The Great Khali, who also eventually became a WWE wrestler, saw his opponent die from a botched move during a match; but it was apparently the other guy’s fault.

 

And that he's the nerdy friend from Wonder Years. (In reality, Manson is about 7 years older than Josh Saviano.)

 

Eddie Haskell being a cop was not an urban legend. He was a cop. The urban legend was that Eddie Haskell was John Holmes.

 

I saw one of those crime shows teased this fact about whatever crime it was covering. I didn't stick around to watch
