I was talking with a friend of mine about Urban Legends that ciruclates around colleges, universities and the likes. It seems that sometimes urban legends are created in places where education prevails or is seen. I thought that was interesting.. maybe the students have nothing better to do than to create urban legends?? Well...I have few urban legends to tell you and if you know any urban legends...do tell! At the same time, would u also be so kind to tell us where u heard it from?
Here's an urban legend...
The Story: Two speeding semi trucks crash head on in a heavy fog. The drivers survive, but the two trucks are toosmashed together to separate, so the towing truck company tows them to a junkyard in one peice. A feew weeks later, junkyard workers notice a terrible smell coming from the wreck. They pry the cars apart...and discover a Volkswagen beetle with four passengers crushed flat in between the two trucks.
The Truth: Urban legends featuring small cars smashed by big vechiles are so numerous that they're practially a category by themselves. What keeps them alive is the general fear of meeting a similar fate.
I've heard this one from a friend of my mother who is a truck driver and he heard it from someone else who read about it. This story is widely ciruclated among the truck drivers of this nation. But then again...still gotta be careful when sharing the same road with semi trucks!!!
