Good laugh

... at the Leaning Tower of Pisa. He even provided a receipt.

Except it wasn't for parking. He was selling insurance in case the tower fell on their car!

Probably also an urban legend.

when UCLA first began to play its home football games at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, the City decided to cut down on traffic by providing bus service from parking lots in the center of town to the stadium some miles distant. Anyone familiar with the area will know that the stadium sits at the bottom of a small valley in the middle of a largely residential neighborhood, so this was a welcome move by many of those involved (not least, the fans, who would no longer need to contend with trying to get into or out of a very bottlenecked stadium parking lot).

The first week of the new policy, as we walked up to where the buses were, the line to board snaked down the sidewalk and around the corner. As we made our way slowly forward, still not in sight of the buses, there were two guys, dressed in yellow jackets with "Event Staff" stenciled on the back, selling tickets. $1 apiece. Everyone happily paid and the ticket sellers -- with equally large smiles -- gave us a ticket from a large roll.

We were halfway to the stadium before we realized: No one ever collected the tickets when we boarded the bus.

The ticket sellers weren't there the next game. But then, why would they be? They'd pocketed a quick couple of thousand dollars, all for the price of a cheesy yellow jacket and, of course, their "tickets to ride."

Hi,

Check it out ! Several internet sites put this one as an Urban Legend. Nice story though, Might make a nice movie of the week.

it is an urban legend. DU doesn't really exist.

he said there was a guy in the airport who would stamp documents for a small fee - no government, no need to have anything stamped but he was making a living.
