I think the weirdest one I can remember of the top was that blow dryers and hooded dryers give women brain cancer. This guy my sis met on our first trip to Jamaica was always busy recording himself talk. Well, she listened to some of them one afternoon, and he had all kind of ramblings about his findings and data on this very subject. He stated that he was paid very well for his tapes of wisdom, and all of Jamaica loved to hear his voice. :wacko::wacko:

I love eating limes...without salt...just the lime. I have been told over and over that my "nature" did strong...and den the man would look me up and down and lick his lips like I was a plate of brown stew chicken. Some others have told me not to eat lime because it will cut your nature. :wacko::wacko:
