One myth, apparently created during the Cold War, is that the ball at the top of a U.S. flagpole contains three items, all intended to keep the communists from capturing the flag. These are most commonly said to be a razor blade (to cut the flag from the halyards), a match (to light it), and a bullet (to shoot the attackers)
(Things you didn't know you didn't know!)
Apparently the correct answer is....
When they ask you what's in the ball on the top of a flagpole,
tell them "only the bolt that holds it to the rest of the pole."

Some of them have diamonds in em, if you are the lucky one to climb the right pole. Good luck!
