  Many years ago a farmer stomped a rattlesnake to death with  
  his boot. A couple of days later, the farmer died. The man's  
  son then wore the boots, and he also died. The farmer's  
  grandson was then given the boots; when he too grew into  
  them, he also died. Finally, the grandson's mother found a  
  fang of the rattler in the sole of one of the boots.  
  
  To be initiated into a gang in California during the  
  Christmas season, potential members must abduct someone and  
  wrap them from head to toe in wrapping paper. Then they are  
  required to lock the victim in the trunk of their own car.  
  
  An MIT student spent his summer going to the Harvard foot-  
  ball field wearing a striped shirt, whereupon he blew a  
  whistle and threw birdseed. When it came time for the first  
  football game, the referee walked onto the field, blew the  
  whistle - and was descended upon by a flock of birds. The  
  game had to be delayed for half an hour.  
  
  A sheriff was passing a farm one day when he saw a man  
  standing on the side of the road yelling, "Pig! Pig! Pig!"  
  The cop became angry and began to yell back, "Redneck! Red-  
  neck! Redneck!" Seconds later, the cop ran right into the  
  redneck's prize pig.  
  
  When a couple arrived at their hotel room, they noticed a  
  gruesome stench. They called the front desk, and house-  
  keeping came up to clean the room. Later that night, the  
  couple woke up because the smell had come back. The man  
  thought it was coming from the bed, so he pulled the sheets  
  off - and found a dead body that had been stuffed in the  
  mattress.  
  
  A man from a small town in Kentucky had refused to cut his  
  hair for over 30 years. One day he finally decided to get it  
  cut. After the barber started to cut his hair, the man  
  screamed and ran off. His wife later found him dead at home.  
  The coroner found that when the barber had tried to cut his  
  hair, he had hit a nest of red-backed spiders that began to  
  bite the man, eventually killing him.
