I don't quite understand why people feel the need to claim that these little stories are true. I think they're perfectly funny in their own right.
your point is well taken. i just reproduced the piece as i received it, i never took it seriously. for debunking stuff like this, there's always www.snopes.com:

which discusses other too-stupid-to-be-true myths like not being able to find the "any" key on the keyboard, using the CD-ROM drive as a coffee cup holder and so on.
