True story or absolute rubbish?

Bagheera

I was just wondering if anyone else heard this story. I'm assuming it's an urban myth but here goes (worth reading)..................

A woman I work with's daughter's friend's friend (never a direct link!) was in Amsterdam recently. She snogged a bloke in a club. The guy asked her back to his apartment but she said no as she didn't want to leave her friend alone. They exchange e-mail addresses and it's bye bye for now.

Back in Ireland, the girl develops a rash on her face. She goes to the doctor who questions who she has been kissing. She tells him; GP tells her you can only get this rash from dead bodies (I asked a GP friend and you CAN get this rash on your hands if you work with cadavers). The GP demands the e-mail address of the fella, it's passed through the gardai to the Dutch police who then trace the guy and find the bodies of 2 dead girls in his apartment.......... she had such a lucky escape!!! (note the sarcasm here)

I am actually laughing as I type this. I was told this yesterday by a person who believes it 100%. It surely can't be true?!!!!!

57% of all residences in Ireland have a corpse hidden in them somewhere, FACT!

I'd still say the stories a lie though.

Think about it logically. If you get a rash from working with dead bodies, then fair enough. But if you can get this rash from a living person (as this girl supposedly did), then it's obvious that this particular rash isn't exclusive to people that work with cadevers, is it?

Plus, why don't you google for such murders in the Netherlands? Methinks you will be disappointed.

You're obviously missing the point of my post in that I think it's absolute rubbish. But I thought people might have a laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.

It wasn't Amsterdam or Hungary.

It clearly happened in Austria.

Rachel: How do you know about that story?!
Joey: How do you know about that story?!
Rachel: I heard it from my friend Irene who heard it from some guy!
Joey: (raises his hand) Some guy!! (Points to himself.)
Rachel: No. No, she told me his name was Ken Adams.
Joey: (raises his hand and points to himself again) Ken Adams!!

Funny story, though. I love urban myths. You should google snopes-it's a website devoted to uncovering urban myths and figuring out which are true and which have merit.

Obviously sarcasm is lost when typed rather than spoken.

Be as pedantic as you want though.

Well, sarcasm may be lost when posting-it can depend on whether you use smilies (:rolleyes:), the overall tone of your post or even using [sarcasm] extreme geekspeak sarcasm bb codes[/sarcasm].

Probably rubbish.

It's all true.

Zombies again.

Dave!

Was wondering where that story was going, and yes, I did think the guy was going to turn out to be a zombie.

More believeable than your ending tbh!

MooseJam

false

missbee

hahaha.My friend rang me today and told me the same story! Except it happened to a girl whojust started working with her cousin. hmm... I thought it was a bit strange so i googled the rash and this came up. hilarious.

Darragh29

I heard a small variation of that urban myth but the version I heard was about a man who was living in Ballyer and his wife got a rash/itch down below. She went to the doc, blah blah blah, he did some tests and took some swabs from down there and sent them off for analysis.

When they came back the doc had to tell her that this particular injection or bacteria or whatever it was, only lives in dead bodies...

It turned out her husband was a mortician and at night when he was preparing the bodies and nobody (pardon the pun!), was around, etc, he was lashing the stiffs out of it...

I've heard a derivative of that story before, the guy who told me was absolutely convinced it was true.

Quazzie

I am the guy in that story and I can assure I have never been caught!

Dragan

A far more likely story is, "A girl goes on her holidays to Amsterdam and while out in a club meets a guy. They hit it off and have a few drinks and he tries to get her back to his place. She declines, but happily sucks him off in the alley outside the club, neatly contracting face herpes or some **** and needing a good story to cover her polesmoking activities."

Or something.

Mr. Incognito

It happened.

I know the girl. They were on a hen in Amsterdam and she's from Limerick. She was going to go home with him as apparantly the guy was gorgeous but she couldn't leave the hen and he threw a bit of a wobbler so she told him no way. They had exchanged numbers at this stage. Funny the bit with the doc and the police is spot on, but it was Interpol that raided his apartment.

I know there are urban legends out there with a similar theme but this story is true and I guess that's why it's doing the rounds.

I'm not going to release her name on an internet forum. I''m trying to remember the exact dates but it was some time last summer as I was in Limerick for the pig n porter when I was told. My son's Mom was at the same Hen and it was quite the scandal at the time.

I actually posted it here at the time somewhere but I'm not going digging through all my posts. Someone with more skill than me on the search function can do it if they want.

These dead bodies this guy was kissing, did they work for eircom?

who007

Heard it about 3 months ago...

(btw - you ever hear of the guy who was selling blessed Irish soil on ebay to 2nd and 3rd generation Irish in the US? That was me... honestly. We had a student come in to work with us last year who started telling me about ehm, me. I told him that the guy w=he was talkin bout was me and filled in the background details on it. Nearly cacked himself with delight at having met the originator of the idea.)

I prefer this one: with 'gas' substituted for 'petrol', 'gas station' for 'statoil lucan', etc.

A girl was traveling to visit a friend and stopped to get gas. When she attempted to return to her car the gas station attendant starting yelling at her and
telling her she did not pay yet.

When she went back in to argue about having already paid the attendant told her he just wanted to get her back in because he saw someone crawl in the
backseat of her car, and that he had already called the police.

Strangely enough, my friend's sister told him this story about somebody she knows. Everybody seems to have some link with it!
