BALL OF FIRE

THERE IS A TALE THAT STATES IF YOU TAKE TELEGRAPH RD.
SOUTH TO CHERRY HILL RD. AND GO DOWN TO DENTON RD.,
CROSS OVER THE BRIDGE THERE AND THEN TURN AROUND AND
COME BACK OVER THE BRIDGE, TURN OFF YOUR HEADLIGHTS
AND IGNITION, WAIT FOR AWHILE, YOU SOON WILL SEE A
RED BALL OF FIRE. IF YOU HONK YOUR HORN, THE FLAME
WILL PASS OVER YOUR CAR, IF YOU DON'T HONK YOUR HORN,
THE FLAME WILL SCORCH THE PAINT OFF YOUR CAR.

Submitter comment: BOB TOLD ME THAT HE DIDN'T BELIEVE THIS, BUT HE KNEW
SOME PEOPLE WHO DID. HE SAID THAT HIS BROTHER SAW
IT, BUT HIS BROTHER WAS INTOXICATED AT THE TIME.
