Speaking of old classmates, two of the gals I went to HS with post stuff weekly that I do a double take on and think "Oh, no, I really really really doubt that is true". Verification is a search click away and I find a dozen conformations that it is a hoax. I don't think they are part of the fake news brigade, maybe just super trusting and extremely gullible. I guess the new axiom is spot on, "If it's on the interweb it must be true" or "A friend shared it, I trust my friend!" I don't bother correcting them.
This weeks best doozies were (1) Boycott Pepsi because they did a commemorative can with the pledge of allegiance and left out " under God", ah, no they did not/do not have any such can (2) If a bad guy forces you to go to an ATM to withdraw cash just enter your pin in reserve and it will summon the police, ah, no, no it will not. (3) countless paranoid posts about rampant crime in little ol NE Iowa, if you do xy or z they will get your stuff!
