"Urban legend" is not something that actually happened to me and that I
saw someone else comment about on this list a few days later.  "Urban
legend" is something that one can only say "I have a friend who has a
friend who said he heard about this."  Unfortunately, it was quite a
while ago, and I don't recall the specifics of the situation.  I'll try
to track down the event.
