HOW TO KEEP YOUR BOY FRIEND

WHEN YOY ARE IN A CAR AND YOU DRIVE OVER A RAILROAD TRACK, UNLESS
YOU ARE THE DRIVER, YOU MUST LIFT YOUR FEET IN THE AIR. IF YOU
DON'T, YOU WILL LOSE YOUR BOYFRIEND.

Submitter comment: I DO NOT KNOW WHO FIRST TOLD ME ABOUT THIS PRACTICE, BUT WHEN WE
WERE YOUNGER, MY GIRL FRIENDS AND I USED TO DO THIS ALL THE TIME.
