my brother was swimming in the gulf of mexico a couple days ago and got bitten by something, and lost all feeling in his arm. i laughed really hard when i heard from my mom
so mom goes, "yeah and he asked tato (my dad) if the old wives tale was true that if a starfish bites you, you should pee on it." "i don't know, i think it's true, mom. i saw it on survivor, and didn't that happen in cast away too?" " i don't understand why that would help though... peeing on it?" "well maybe the ammonia does something to heal it or take the sting away or something" "oohhh you mean on the bite? i thought you meant pee on the starfish"
i swear to god. same woman who was convinced there was a beef crash in '62, when asked to buy low sodium crackers, she buys saltines, and is convinced that if you don't know what fragua is, you're a moron
