Urban legend.

Dumb at that.

I think Richard Gere is the most well known person this incident 'happened to'.

There has never been a case of doctors removing a gerbil from a rectum.

This legend exists in all parts of the world.. it is a popular newscasters in some places, some people tell the story about Richard Gere..

It is a pretty funny legend to talk about and repeat, but I doubt it is very funny to be on the receiving end

A former local newscaster was the victim of a similar pervasive rumor.

Thank goodness for snopes.com!


BTW, by all accounts the Mathis Brothers are doing great business out of that Ontario store. No surprise, as I previously mentioned the shocking lack of furniture stores out here.

About a year before that, a forecaster in a nearby city was also the subject of the same rumor, and it cost him his job.

Who Cares What The Mathis Brothers Do Here Or In Cali Or Canada?

> doubt it is very funny to be on the receiving end

that's what the gerbil said too

I thought it said.. Armageddon!
