There is an urban legend involving <insert famous person>, a (sometimes shaved)
gerbil, rectums, and emergency rooms. It's been around a long while, the last
person I remember hearing it about was Richard Gere.

> Holy S**T, you can't be serious!!!!!!

Wayne, if you knew me better you wouldn't ask questions like that.

I'm serious that the story exists and was last told to me about Richard Gere,
however it is an "Urban Legend" a floating myth that changes details but
remains constant in it's essence, is completely unverifiable and assumed to be
false.

This is one such story. There are lots. Jan Brunvand (sp?) has written a number
of books about them including "The Vanishing Hitchiker" and "The Choking
Doberman." I find the books fairly dry and academic, but fascinating
nonetheless.

People put a lot of weird things in their a***s but gerbils ain't one of them
(as far as *I* know - and I know reasonably far.) I'm about 99.44% sure that
that's what "gerbiling" has to be referring to, especially if someone said that
it was a "gay" thing.

	Have a NICE day.

 Was that "sure" or "pure"? :-)

It wasn't "pure" I'm sure. Well actually I may be as pure as the Ivory Snow
Girl...

P.S. Don't give me grief for my use of "girl," that phrase is a proper noun.
