For sheer comical value I've always loved this one:

But when I start feeling optimistic, I like to remember this one, which underscores people's stupidity (because I know someone who believed people actually paid $60,000 to have their cats painted):

Or this one for the same reason:

My favorite Urban Legend is the one about Bill Gates sending out money to people who forward some stupid email, or something like that. I don't quite know how it goes, but ppl are still falling for it and it's be debunked for years.
My favorite Old Wives Tale (or least favorite) is the one my mom says to me regularly about going outside with a wet head or walking around barefoot will make you sick. Utterly ridiculous!

when i was a little girl my mom would always tell me about pirates that would sail to Puerto Rico and that the house that my aunt live in had diamonds, jewelery, gold and all this other stuff buried under neath it. And that the reason why we couldn't look for it and dig it up is because once we started to dig the hole it would expand automatically and the whole city would end up flooding because the hole would expand and swallow up the house. And eventual it will hit the ocean floor and all this water and fishes of different color and sizes would start swimming up . So that's my urban legend that was told to me when i was growing up

If you pee in the road you will get a sty in your eye.
If you masturbate you will go blind, or grow hair on your palms.
