LOL--here is the short version--and this is 100% not embellished, although I might have a detail or two wrong after all these years. An regular [albeit semi-infrequent] poster on one of the earlier versions of the board wrote an OT post asking the lawyers on the board to give him free legal advice. His situation--and I'm not making this up--was that he paid a witch to make a love potion for him, that was ostensibly guaranteed to make some poor girl fall in love with him. He'd paid several hundred dollars for the "love potion," and when it didn't work he got disgruntled and wanted to know what his legal recourse was, what he could do to recoup what he'd spent based upon false advertising grounds, etc.
As you might imagine, the thread caused an immediate uproar. Some of the funniest reaction posts I've ever read. And the original poster who'd admitted to that ridiculous story / conduct quickly disappeared in shame due to the hilarious backlash.
I really, really, really hope somebody printed or downloaded or saved that OP for posterity. It sounds like something that could only be made up... only it wasn't.
