They're funny, but also false per Snopes.com
Origins: This "and you wonder what's wrong with the world today?" whinge appeared on the Internet in May 2001. All of the entries in the list are fabrications -- a search for news stories about each of these cases failed to turn up anything, as did a search for each law case.
The earliest version concluded with a seventh item that has since been snipped away, likely after someone noticed it was the venerable microwaved poodle legend. Its inclusion would have immediately called into question the truthfulness of the other six cases for any number of folks familiar with urban legends. The remaining six were still false, but they weren't as obviously false as the following poodle tale and thus wouldn't have set the alarm bells ringing.

O.J.
A group of girlfriends went on vacation and saw a five-story hotel with a
sign that read FOR WOMEN ONLY.
Since they were there without their boyfriends, they decided to go in.
The doorman, a very attractive man, explained to them how it worked: "We
have 5 floors. Go up floor by floor, and once you find what you are looking
for, you can stay there. It's easy to decide, since each floor has signs
telling you what's inside.
The only rule is, once you leave a floor, you can't return to it."
The women talk it over and decide to go for it...
They start going up, and on the First floor the sign reads:
ALL THE MEN HERE ARE HORRIBLE LOVERS, BUT THEY ARE SENSITIVE AND KIND.
The friends laugh and without hesitation move on to the next floor...
The sign on the Second floor reads:
ALL THE MEN HERE ARE WONDERFUL LOVERS, BUT THEY GENERALLY TREAT WOMEN
BADLY.
This wasn't going to do, so again they head for the stairs.
The friends move up to the Third floor where the sign reads:
ALL THE MEN HERE ARE GREAT LOVERS AND SENSITIVE TO THE NEEDS OF WOMEN.
This was good but there were still two more floors...
On the Fourth floor, the sign was perfect:
ALL THE MEN HERE HAVE PERFECT BUILDS; ARE SENSITIVE AND ATTENTIVE TO
WOMEN; ARE PERFECT LOVERS; THEY ARE ALSO SINGLE, RICH, AND STRAIGHT.
The women seemed pleased but they decided that they would rather see what
the Fifth floor has to offer.
When they reach the Fifth floor, there is only a sign that reads:
THERE ARE NO MEN HERE!
THIS FLOOR WAS SIMPLY BUILT TO PROVE THAT THERE IS JUST NO WAY TO PLEASE A
WOMAN!!! |
